James 5:16-18

What do these passages in Isaiah tell us of the goals of God regarding the peoples of the earth? Who is the servant in Isaiah 42 and 49? What if Israel fails to be God’s delight and nation of priests to the nations? Is all lost for the Gentile nations? What will God do for non-Jewish seekers who honor and praise God? What is the full title of the church in Isaiah 56? Today thank God for the nations of believers who worship with you. What can you do to encourage inclusion in the ministry for all groups? Ask someone from another culture about their worship of the Lord. Ask them to pray with you.

Acts 9:11; Galatians 1:21-24

When was Saul praying? What led him to pray? Why was prayer so important to him at this particular time in his life? What happened to him after he prayed? When should you be praying? What happens in life when you forget to pray? Is God trying to use you? Does He want to do something that only He could do in your life? Do not allow yourselves the luxury of not praying. Your life is contingent on your humble relationship with God.

The Church prayed for Peter when he was jailed awaiting trial for being a Christ-follower. All religions pray. The belief in God and the belief in prayer go hand in hand. Prayer is something that God wants for His people.

Matthew 7:7-11; 1 Thessalonians 2:9-13

What does God encourage His children to do? What is promised when we pray to our heavenly Father? What relationship do we have with God that allows Him to even be interested in our prayers? Will God ever give us answers to our prayers that are bad for us? Today, get on your knees and pour your heart out to this Father who wants to give you good gifts.
