“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 continue a prayer focus on the Sermon on the Mount as we find God’s goal behind the Beatitudes, in Jesus blessing us, is for us to be His salt and light to the World!  Being blessed means a lot of different things to people based often on the things we prioritize.  When Jesus taught about the things that ought to make His children so very happy, He did so in ways that turn the worlds ideals of health, wealth, and comfort upside down.  The real blessings of life that God would have us to pursue are blessings that transcend the things of this culture and make us the salt of the earth and the light of the world.  As you pray this week, ask God to give you a greater understanding of His view of being blessed.  As you pray each day, give careful consideration to how Jesus would have you view those who are experiencing life in ways that the world does not see as being blessed.  Pray that you would not only experience the blessings of God according to His definition, but that you would be the blessing of God to the people around you.  Pray also that the blessings of these qualities would be ever-increasing in your life.

“Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”
Matthew 5:9 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to give you a greater understanding of His view of being blessed.  Pray that you would look for ways to make peace in the situations you face.  Pray that being a child of God would lead you to being a peacemaker where you live.  Pray that your life would be an example to others as they seek peace in all of their relationships.

“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 pure in heart, for they will see God.”
Matthew 5:8 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to give you a greater understanding of His view of being blessed.  Pray that your desire to see God would lead you to a cleansing of your heart through the blood of Jesus.  Pray that your dealings with others would come from a pure heart.  Pray that God would purify the hearts of those you pray for today, even as He continues to purify your heart.
