A Daily Steadfast Prayer Guide

Continue steadfastly in prayer. (Col. 4:2)

Open your prayer time with praise as you read Psalm 96.

MONDAY—Families
But as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD. ( Josh. 24:15)

PRAY:
For families who are experiencing separation to remain united in heart; for reconciliation in broken relationships; for
prodigals to sense the need to return home; for marriages to be fortified; for children to be shaped in Christlike ways that
impact their future; for physical protection and health for the sick and vulnerable; for daily provision for those crippled by
reduced income or unemployment.

TUESDAY—Churches and Pastors


Awake, O sleeper, and arise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you. (Eph. 5:14)

PRAY:
For the Bride of Christ to be purified to shine the gospel; for unity in the Spirit despite the loss of corporate worship; for
churches to become true houses of prayer; for pastors to receive a special grace and wisdom from above to shepherd the
flock and proclaim the Word; for wayward believers to return to the Lord; for churches to repent from self-sufficiency and
tolerance of sin; for a spirit of humility to sweep throughout churches.

WEDNESDAY—God’s People
Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility,
meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another,
forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these
put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule
in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. (Col. 3:12–15)

PRAY:
For Christians to be rooted in the Word not bound by fear; for radical peace and hope in the midst of a global crisis that
displays the gospel; for believers to be quick to minister to others practically and sacrificially; to be generous givers in our
weakness; to love our neighbors as we love ourselves; for lukewarm hearts to return to Jesus, their first love; for God to
expose idols and any sin hindering personal revival; for people to say, “yes, Lord!” in obedience to Scripture.
THURSDAY—Lost World
Consequently, he is able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him,
since he always lives to make intercession for them. (Heb. 7:25)

PRAY:
For God to give Christians hearts that break for lost souls; to send us as laborers into the harvest; for divine opportunities
to share the hope of Christ; for hearts of stone to turn into flesh; for scales to fall from blinded eyes; lift up the names of
those who are perishing apart from God.

FRIDAY—Government Officials and Healthcare Providers


The LORD brings the counsel of the nations to nothing; he frustrates the plans of the peoples.
The counsel of the LORD stands forever, the plans of his heart to all generations. Blessed is the
nation whose God is the LORD, the people whom he has chosen as his heritage! (Ps. 33:10–12)

PRAY:
Turn the hearts of our leaders back to you so our nation can once again declare in unity, “One nation under God”; for
leaders to give and receive wise counsel; for honesty among elected officials; for godly men to understand and interpret
these strange times; for stamina and daily strength for healthcare workers; for physical protection of doctors and nurses;
for provision of medical supplies.

SATURDAY—Movement of Prayer
“Yet even now,” declares the LORD, return to me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping,
and with mourning; and rend your hearts and not your garments.” Return to the LORD your
God, for he is gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love; and he
relents over disaster. Who knows whether he will not turn and relent, and leave a blessing
behind him. ( Joel 2:12–14)

PRAY:
For God to raise up fierce women who will commit to faithful, focused prayer; for a spirit of prayer to spread like wildfire
across the nation and world; for earnest prayer to become more contagious than the coronavirus; for prayer to be our first
response in every situation; for united voices, “Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done” in heaven and on earth; to seek first
the kingdom of God and His righteousness daily.

SUNDAY—Revival and Spiritual Awakening


Come, let us return to the LORD; for he has torn us, that he may heal us; he has struck us down,
and he will bind us up. (Hos. 6:1)

PRAY:
For the Lord to revive us again so we may rejoice in Him; for God to display His fame and renew His mighty deeds in
our day; to fulfill His promise to restore the years the locusts have eaten; for Jesus to be exalted over all the earth; for God’s
Spirit to rapidly advance the gospel, revive the Church, transform culture, and reverse the course of history. Thank Him
for how He will answer in His perfect timing and way! Close with Psalm 72:17–18, “May his name endure forever, his fame
continue as long as the sun! May people be blessed in him, all nations call him blessed! Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel,
who alone does wondrous things.” Come, Lord Jesus! Amen.
