And He will turn the hearts of fathers to their children and the hearts of children to their fathers, lest I come and strike the land with a decree of utter destruction. (Malachi 4:5-6) Prayer Points Cry out for fathers you know to turn their hearts powerfully and clearly back to their children. Seek God for children, especially wounded ones, to turn their hearts back to their fathers. Ask God to provide spiritual fathers and mothers for children, youth, and young adults. Pray that forgiveness, restoration, and healing would occur in homes across your region. Believe God for a Jesus awakening in all the homes in your community. Fathers, you can have your heart turned away from your children simply by ignoring them. By being so swallowed up in your work that all they get are the dregs of your life. - John Piper

(Genesis 2:24) Prayer Points If you are married, ask Jesus to show you a specific reason you and your spouse have been brought together. Thank Him for His plan and pray for the next steps in bringing forth His work through your marriage. If you are single, pray for the marriages in your community and ask Jesus to show you how you many encourage the couples you know. Pray for the single men and women in your community to be led to and prepared by God for their future mate. Ask forgiveness for every way you have not honored His plan for your marriage and the marriages of others. Ask Jesus to show you specific ways you may repent. God created marriage. No government subcommittee envisioned it. No social organization developed it. Marriage was conceived and born in the mind of God. - Max Lucado

(Romans 12:4-5) Prayer Points: Think of brothers and sisters in Christ who have various types of giftings and abilities, and take a moment to thank Jesus for them. Pray for them as God leads. Ask Holy Spirit to bring to mind areas where you've failed to appreciate the diversity and variety in the body of Christ. Ask the Lord to show you ways you may encourage those who are unlike you in their gifts and callings Pray for areas of prejudice and judgment in your heart toward those in the body of Christ. (Are you judging another church's expression, or are you harboring racial prejudice? Are you bitter toward a person or group who has not recognized your calling?) Now is the time to repent and ask Jesus to conform your heart and mind to His perfect will. Ask God to bring to mind at least one specific person you may encourage in his or her giftings today. Pray for this dear one and write a note, send a text, or give them a call to encourage and pray for them. In the church, we are to accept and not judge one another when we differ on matters where the Bible does not give specific commandments. -Steven Cole

There is one body and one Spirit - Just as you were called to the one hope that belongs to your call - one Lord, one faith, one baptism, one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. (Ephesians 4:1-6) Prayer Points: Seek God for a fresh work of love, humility, and gentleness to invade and consume His people. Repent for the ways you have not walked in a manner worthy of your calling, especially in the areas of love and unity. Pray that pastors, leaders, and Christians will know and understand there is only one body, buy many congregations. Ask that a visible unity of the one church would be displayed in your community. Ask Holy Spirit to fill your congregation, and the area congregation, in a visibly and unifying way. Contend for a brighter display of our seven-fold city of one Body, one Lord, one Hope, on Baptism, one Spirit, one Faith, and one God and Father over all. Many Scripture passages could be called to witness that love is the real key to Christian unity. In the spirit of true humility compassion, consideration, and unselfishness, we are to approach our problems, our work, and even our differences. - Billy Graham

(Revelation 7:9) Prayer Points: Envision the people mentioned in Revelation 7:9 and thank Jesus for bringing them to His throne of grace. Think of a people group around th world and pray for their salvation and discipleship . Ask God to bring to mind a people group in your own community that needs to be touched by his gospel. Pray for workers to be sent to them and for their hearts to be readied to receive the message of salvation. Ask Jesus what He would have you do for them. Ask Holy Spirit to show you a group you have not loved. Repent and ask Him to give you his heart to love them. Can you sense the heartbreak of God for the multitudes of lost people who have yet to know of His grace? - Living the Way Ministries

(John 13:35) Prayer Points Ask Jesus to bring to mind the ways you have lived selfishly and without love. Take a moment to repent for as many as come to mind. Ask Holy Spirit to fill you with His love and to empower you to see your brothers and sisters in Christ through His eyes of compassion. Let the Heavenly Father show you whom you need to forgive for any way they have failed to love you. Surrender your hurt to Jesus and forgive them now. Prayerfully, make a list of anyone Jesus leads you to show tangible love to today. We are told to do good to everyone, especially to those in the household of faith (Galatians 6:10) Ask Holy Spirit to give you creative ideas and empowerment to put this love into action. Do not waste time bothering whether you "love" your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. Whey you are behaving as if you loved someone, you will presently come to love him. - C.S. Lewis

It is like the precious oil on the head, running down on the beard, on the beard of Aaron, running down on the collar of his robes! It is like the dew of Hermon, which falls on the mountains of Zion! For there the LORD has commanded the blessing, life forevermore. (Psalm 133) Prayer Points: Ask that visible unity would emerge in your community through prayer, compassion, worship, etc. Repent over historic divisions that have taken root in your city between races, groups, churches, family, and friends. ,Intercede for churches to experience true biblical unity. Seek God for an area wide blessing of unity and a canopy of God's presence in your town. And an awareness of Go gripped the community such as hadn't been known for over 100 years. An awareness of God - that's revival, that's revival. - Duncan Campbell

The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as You loved me. (John 17:20-23) Prayer Points: Pray for a work of oneness in your community that is rooted in the Father and Son's complete unity. Cry out for healing of old and new divisions between Christians and congregations in your area. Ask God to raise up pastors, prayer warriors, and Christians of all types to forge a practical and visibly unity between congregations in your town or city. Intercede for the body of Christ to bring God great glory through forgiveness working together, and honoring one another above ourselves. Plead with God for the demonic oppression ruling your area to be driven out as the people fo God experience the blood-bought oneness that Jesus purchased through His death, burial, resurrection, and outpouring of the Spirit. Believers are never told to become one; we already are one and are expected to act like it. Joni Eareckson Tada

(Psalm 85:6) Prayer Points: Ask Holy Spirit to give you the strength to continually abide in Him and to raise up many in your community who are living in close relationship with Him. Pray for people in your city who are working diligently for Jesus that they may be overwhelmed with joy in their ministry. Ask the Lord to show you areas of sin, apathy, and pain that you need to surrender to Him, so He may fill you with His joy. Pray that the joy of the Lord will be your strength today as you believe for revival. Ask Jesus to give you eyes to see the work that He is already doing toward revival in your city. Revival is falling in love with Jesus all over again. - Vance Havner
