Each month we’ll update this page with new requests. We invite you to come back regularly to find other ways you can pray for our partners and ministry around the world.
“Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving. At the same time, pray also for us, that God may open to us a door for the word, to declare the mystery of Christ…” (Colossians 4:2-3 ESV)
In two short verses, we learn much about the priority of prayer.
Prayer requires consistency. We continue steadfastly in it because there’s never a moment when we’re not absolutely dependent on the provision of God’s grace. An old hymn says it memorably: “Prayer is the Christian’s vital breath, the Christian’s native air.”
Prayer fuels expectancy. We are watchful in it because we know that while we are praying, God is working to do above and beyond what we could ask or imagine (Eph. 3:20-21).
Prayer is adorned with gratitude. As we speak with our Heavenly Father, we are reminded of his good and generous heart. With all that is within us, we bless his holy name and “forget not all his benefits” (Psalm 103:1-2).
Prayer is focused on the advancement of the gospel. We pray with confidence because there is no barrier to the gospel that God cannot overcome. The risen Christ “has the key of David” and he is the one “who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens” (Rev. 3:7). May Jesus lead us to the “open doors” he has set before us, and may we be courageous to declare the mystery of Christ among all the nations!
