“Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, ‘May the LORD, who is good, pardon everyone who sets his heart on seeking God — the LORD, the God of his fathers — even if he is not clean according to the rules of the sanctuary.’  And the LORD heard Hezekiah and healed the people.”
2 Chronicles 30:18-20 (NIV)

Most Christians are familiar with the “If my people . . .” passage early in 2 Chronicles where God promises Solomon that He would heal the land of those who would humble themselves and pray.  Later in the same book, we find where Hezekiah humbles himself and prays — not only for himself and the land, but for the healing of the people as they turned to God to receive His forgiveness.  Far too often in our prayers, we focus on a good thing — the physical healing of people — and miss a better thing, the spiritual healing of ourselves and others.  Pray that you would spend at least as much time praying for the spiritual well-being of people as you do praying for their physical health.  Pray that you would experience God’s healing in every need that you have.  Pray about how God can use you to express His healing to others.

“I said, ‘O LORD, have mercy on me; heal me, for I have sinned against you.’”
Psalm 41:4 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to cover you in His grace as you seek forgiveness and healing of anything that would hinder your prayers.  Pray that you would seek, and know, the mercy of God when you need healing from sin and from the effects of sin in your life.  Pray that you would help others heal as you extend the same mercy to them that you have received from God.

“Then he said to them, ‘Whoever welcomes this little child in my name welcomes me; and whoever welcomes me welcomes the one who sent me. For he who is least among you all — he is the greatest.’”
Luke 9:48 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will be about learning from Jesus as to how we can walk the road to greatness.  It seems our human nature often strives to be the greatest yet we tend to pursue that by the ways of the world rather than through the instruction of Jesus.  As the disciples walked the road with Jesus, they argued about which one of them was the greatest.  It is in this context that Jesus teaches us that the key to greatness is wrapped up in our willingness to serve others.  When practiced within the body of Christ, no one gets left out because serving God’s way really is about one another — every one another.  Pray that you would desire greatness in all things, but only in the way Jesus defines greatness.  Pray that your relationship with Jesus would equip you to do greater things as you serve people in His name.  Pray that you would not be one that settles for lesser things when God wants to amply supply you with greater things.

“We accept man’s testimony, but God’s testimony is greater because it is the testimony of God, which he has given about his Son.”
1 John 5:9 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you walk His way on this road to greatness.  Pray that you would view the testimony of God to be greater than the testimony of man.  Pray that you would listen for truthful testimony and find that its source is from God.  Pray that your life would be about sharing the greater testimony of God’s work in you.

“He regarded disgrace for the sake of Christ as of greater value than the treasures of Egypt, because he was looking ahead to his reward.”
Hebrews 11:26 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you walk His way on this road to greatness.  Pray that you would accurately evaluate the value you place on the “treasures” of this world.  Pray that you would learn to consider the cost of following Jesus to be of greater value than the things of the world.  Pray that you would keep your eyes focused on the reward that has eternal value.

“And if what was fading away came with glory, how much greater is the glory of that which lasts!”
2 Corinthians 3:11 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you walk His way on this road to greatness.  Pray that you would seek the things of God which will endure.  Pray that your appreciation for the things of glory that fade would lead you to discover the things of greater glory.  Pray that your life would share with others about the glory yet to come.
