“Now when he saw the crowds, he went up on a mountainside and sat down. His disciples came to him, and he began to teach them.”  
Matthew 5:1-2 (NIV)

This week we begin a focus on the Sermon on the Mount in our Summer With the Son sermon series, so our weekly prayer guides will follow that series beginning with an emphasis on Being Blessed!  While most of us like the idea of being blessed, we often struggle to even understand what that would look like.  When the Bible talks about someone being blessed, the emphasis is not on the “stuff” we often think of as blessings but rather on the attitude of being very happy and filled with joy.  As you pray each day, pray that you will see beyond the ordinary and that God will use that characteristic in your life to bring blessing to you and to others through you.  Pray for the people in your life.  Pray for your family, your neighbors, your church family, your co-workers, and anyone else God brings to your mind.  Pray also that the blessings of these qualities would be ever-increasing in your life.  Pray about how God would have your being blessed by Him result in you being a blessing to others.

“Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.”
Matthew 5:3 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to give you a greater understanding of His view of being blessed.  Pray that your acknowledgement of need in your spiritual life would lead you to Jesus.  Pray that the poverty you feel in  your spirit would be filled with God’s Spirit as you seek first His kingdom and His righteousness.

“I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.”  
John 14:12 (NIV)

As we honor our graduates this week, our prayer focus will be about all of us seeking, and doing, greater things.  It is easy to walk through life each day settling for “good enough” when God wants us to look to Him for “greater things”.  In fact, we are so used to settling that we generally find it unbelievable that Jesus would say we can do even greater things than He had done during His ministry on earth.  These words were spoken before His ultimate “great thing” of the death, burial, and resurrection so I believe being able to share that gospel news is a big part of the greater things in store for us to share with others.  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.  Pray for a unity of spirit among believers in general and among your church family in particular.

“I have no greater joy than to hear that my children are walking in the truth.”
3 John 1:4 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you seek the greater things He offers.  Pray that you would find a greater joy than what the world can offer.  Pray that you would receive joy from having children in the faith.  Pray that you would bring greater joy to others by walking in truth.

“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 seek the greater things He offers.  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 seek the greater things He offers.  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.
