“To the church of God in Corinth, to those sanctified in Christ Jesus and called to be holy, together with all those everywhere who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ — their Lord and ours: Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.”
1 Corinthians 1:2-3 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will focus on being thankful for one another.  Who do you think of when you read that line?  I suspect that most of the time we think of those that we are already thankful for and dismiss the idea in our mind that it should apply to anyone else.  Especially within the body of Christ, God’s desire is that we learn to be thankful for every one of the “one anothers”.  A good starting point for learning to do that is to practice being thankful for what God has done, is doing, and will do in their life.

As you pray this week, ask God to  help you grow in thankfulness for all “who call on the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”.  Pray that God would help you to see His work in the lives of others — especially in the lives of those you have difficulty being thankful for.  Pray that your interactions with others would exemplify the grace and peace that God has given through Jesus Christ.

“I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus.”
1 Corinthians 1:4 (NIV)

Pray for a growing awareness of how God’s grace is at work in the lives of the people around you.  Pray that you would learn to be thankful for others as you see them through the eyes of God’s grace.  Pray that you would be a living example to others of how God’s grace leads to thankfulness.

“And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast.”
1 Peter 5:10 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will focus on our need and desire to be restored by God.  When the darkness of life tries to close in on us, we can call out to God and be saved.  When we become worn down, it is comforting to know that we can be restored as we seek God’s face.  When we turn our face toward God, we find that His face shines upon us with the light of His comforting love.

As you pray this week, ask God to help you know His power and desire to restore.  Pray for the ability to endure as you hold fast to God’s promise of restoration.  Pray that your life would reflect the strength which God gives by His grace.  Pray that your steadfast faith would lead others to pursue being restored by God.

“Though the wicked bind me with ropes, I will not forget your law.”
Psalm 119:61 (NIV)

This week’s prayer emphasis will focus on our response to God’s love.  While much time, effort, and money will be spent by individuals this week trying to express their love toward one another, the psalmist gives us some great insight into how to respond to God’s love in ways that are good and right.

As you pray this week, ask God to help you live with a greater awareness of His love.  Pray that the distractions of the world we live in would never keep you from remembering the law of God.  Pray for the courage to remain faithful to the laws of God even when wickedness seems to surround you.  Pray that the people around you would know you as one who lives by God’s laws.
