Bible Reading: 

Pray for singles in your church. Lift them up by name. Pray they would seek and find opportunities to grow in Christ with other believers. As we pray let us remember two important truths: Singles and marrieds need to find our identity in Christ. Martial status isn’t correlated with godliness or maturity.

Pray for more laborers in your church (Matt. 9:35-38).

Jesus told us to pray that way, so be obedient to His command. You may find you seldom struggle in finding workers when you pray this way.  Pray for workers in the different ministry areas.  The call to prayer is not a call to merely wait for workers.  It is a challenge to serve also.
