Biblical Prayers

As Christians, prayer should be like breathing—natural, constant, and persistent (Ps 116:12-13, Luke 18:1, Acts 2:47, Acts 6:4, James 5:16). Praying the Scriptures gives us guidance and confidence that our prayers align with God's desires.
May these prayers and resources aid you in your love for God and love for others.

  • Pray that unity and true fellowship in the gospel would abound in our churches (Phil 1:27).

​

  • Pray for understanding of and obedience to our calling and purpose (1 Pet 2:9-10).​

​

  • Pray for godly character, healthy shepherding, and biblical leadership among our pastors

       (Titus 1:5-9, 1 Pet 5:2).​

​

​

Prayers for the Nations & Global Missions

  • Pray for God to send more labors to carry the gospel into the dark places of the world, as there are over 3 billion souls that have yet to hear the gospel (Matt 9:37-38).
