Pray for the Health, Purity, and Holiness of the Church

Intercession 5.5 | NASB

For the amending of everything that is amiss in the church, the reviving of primitive Christianity and the power of godliness, and, to that end, the pouring out of the Spirit.

Lord, let Your Spirit be poured out upon Your churches from on high, and then the wilderness will become a fruitful field; Isaiah 32:15(NASB) then judgment will again be righteous, and all the upright in heart will follow it. Psalm 94:15(NASB)

Let what remains be set in order, Titus 1:5(NASB) and let every plant that is not of my heavenly Father’s planting be uprooted. Matthew 15:13(NASB)

Let the Lord whom I seek come to His temple like a refiner’s fire and fullers’ soap, and let Him purify the sons of Levi and all the seed of Israel, and refine them like gold and silver, so that they may present to the LORD offerings in righteousness, pleasing offerings to the LORD as in the days of old, as in former years. Malachi 3:2-4(NASB)

Let pure and undefiled religion in the sight of my God and Father, flourish and prevail everywhere: James 1:27(NASB) that kingdom of God among men, which is not eating and drinking, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Romans 14:17(NASB) O revive this work in the midst of the years, in the midst of the years make it known; Habakkuk 3:2(NASB) and let these times be times of reformation. Hebrews 9:10(NASB)

Pray for the Conversion of Non-Christians who are Hostile to Christianity

Intercession 5.4 | NASB

For the conviction and conversion of atheists, deists, and infidels, and of all who are out of the way of truth, and of profane scoffers and those who disgrace Christianity by their vicious and immoral lives.

O teach transgressors Your ways, and let sinners be converted to You. Psalm 51:13(NASB)

O grant them repentance leading to the knowledge of the truth, 2 Timothy 2:25(NASB) the truth as it is in Jesus, Ephesians 4:21(NASB) the truth which is according to godliness; Titus 1:1(NASB) that they may escape from the snare of the devil. 2 Timothy 2:26(NASB)

Let those who are continually straying like sheep return to Jesus Christ, the Shepherd and Guardian of His people’s souls. 1 Peter 2:25(NASB)

Show those fools their folly and misery who have said in their hearts, “There is no God,” and who are corrupt and have committed abominable deeds. Psalm 14:1(NASB)

Lord, maintain the honor of the Scriptures, the law and the testimony, and convince those who do not speak according to that word, that it is because they have no dawn. Isaiah 8:20(NASB) Magnify that word according to all Your name; Psalm 138:2(NASB) make the law great, make the gospel great, and make both glorious. Isaiah 42:21(NASB)

Let those who will not be won by the word, be won by the behavior of Christians, 1 Peter 3:1(NASB) which I beg may be such in everything that those who do not believe may be convicted by all and called to account by all, may be brought to worship God and to declare that God is certainly among them. 1 Corinthians 14:24-25(NASB)

Pray for the Universal Church

Intercession 5.3 | NASB

For the universal church, wherever dispersed, and for all the interests of it.

My heart’s desire and prayer to God for the gospel-Israel is for its salvation. Romans 10:1(NASB)

By Your favor do good to Zion; build the walls of Jerusalem. Psalm 51:18(NASB) May peace be within her walls, and prosperity within her palaces. For the sake of my brothers and my friends, I will now say, “May peace be within her.” Psalm 122:7-8(NASB)

O that I may see the prosperity of the gospel-Jerusalem all the days of my life and peace upon Israel. Psalm 128:5-6(NASB) And that, thus, I may have reason to answer the messengers of the nations, saying, “The LORD has founded Zion, and the afflicted of His people will seek refuge in it.” Isaiah 14:32(NASB)

Save Your people, O Lord, and bless Your inheritance; be their shepherd also, and carry them forever. Psalm 28:9(NASB) Give strength to Your people, and bless Your people with peace; Psalm 29:11(NASB) surround them with favor as with a shield. Psalm 5:12(NASB)

Grace be with all those who love the Lord Jesus Christ with love incorruptible; Ephesians 6:24(NASB) for You know those who are Yours, and give to all who name the name of Christ to abstain from wickedness. 2 Timothy 2:19(NASB)

I pray for all who believe in Christ, that they may all be one; John 17:20-21(NASB) and since there is one body and one Spirit and one hope of calling, one Lord, one faith, one baptism, and one God and Father of all, Ephesians 4:4-6(NASB) give to all Christians to be of one heart and one way. Jeremiah 32:39(NASB)

Let the word of the Lord spread rapidly in all places, and let it be glorified. 2 Thessalonians 3:1(NASB)
