If My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7:14

Media (Ephesians 4:7) But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 

• Pray for health and endurance for Praise 106.5 as they work w/ limited staff.
• Pray for wisdom to draw people to consider the deep concepts of the faith without being divisive in a public setting.

Business (Ephesians 4:1) As a prisoner for the Lord, then, I urge you to live a life worthy of the calling you have received. 

• Pray for the witness of hope through Christian businesses as they serve many who are overwhelmed with anxiety and fear.
• Pray for the many business leaders who are hungry to know more about how to run a business with Biblical principles.

Church (Ephesians 4:11-14) So Christ himself gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the pastors and teachers, 12 to equip his people for works of service, so that the body of Christ may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of God and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Christ. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of people in their deceitful scheming.

• Pray for the Word to go forth and bring in a great harvest of souls.
• Pray for those not in community to get connected to a church.

Education (Ephesians 1:17-18, 5:8-11) I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people | For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light (for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth) and find out what pleases the Lord. Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. 

• Pray for the Holy Spirit to provide guidance and wisdom, to measure our steps to open, and the speed with which we take them (for all levels of decision making......White House, Congress, health departments, schools).
• Pray for the health and safety of our students, staff, and community; and for needs (day care, internet connections etc.)

Family (Ephesians 6:1-4) Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is right. “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise—  â€œso that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth.” Fathers, do not exasperate your children; instead, bring them up in the training and instruction of the Lord.

• Pray for families to find the full measure of the peace of Christ even with school starting on-line and other challenges caused by isolation.
• Pray for parents to take an active role in their kids’ education.

Government (Ephesians 1:16-23)  I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit[a] of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened in order that you may know the hope to which he has called you, the riches of his glorious inheritance in his holy people, and his incomparably great power for us who believe. That power is the same as the mighty strength he exerted when he raised Christ from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly realms, far above all rule and authority, power and dominion, and every name that is invoked, not only in the present age but also in the one to come. And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way. 

• Pray for the church – each member – to discern truth in this election at all levels and to vote for Biblical values.
• Pray for the integrity of the elections and Pray for all elected leaders 1Tim 2.

 
Health (Ephesians 2:4-7) But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus, in order that in the coming ages he might show the incomparable riches of his grace, expressed in his kindness to us in Christ Jesus. 

• Pray for peace and rest for health care workers who experience stress, exhaustion and isolation as they seek to be healthy and care for patients.
• Pray for the body of Christ to step into the void of relationship/support for neighbors and health care workers via creative communication – texts, calls

International Missions | Nathan and Emily Rottier (Ephesians 3:14-19) For this reason I kneel before the Father,  from whom every family in heaven and on earth derives its name. I pray that out of his glorious riches he may strengthen you with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith. And I pray that you, being rooted and established in love, may have power, together with all the Lord’s holy people, to grasp how wide and long and high and deep is the love of Christ, and to know this love that surpasses knowledge—that you may be filled to the measure of all the fullness of God.
