Are we in persistent prayer?
Be joyful in hope, patient in affliction, persistent in prayer. Romans 12:12
Most likely we are not as we ought!
Christian, we need to be praying, not just in turmoil, emergency or crisis, but in all circumstances, situations, and issues — good and not, and for all others about us.
Only the Lord can do what only he can do, and only prayer brings our Lord into the situation to do it. Yes, he uses fallible people (like me!) to accomplish His work, but we must be in the business of asking Him to. So let’s pray.
Show Notes:
Pray for the people of God, and pray for those who do not know God:
Remember the Lord
Return to the Father’s house
Repent for our sins
Restore us again
Redeem the ungodly
Rebuke enemies of Your people
Righteous in the lands

Praying For The Church
In the Epistles, Paul often mentioned he was praying for those he wrote to, and mentioned what he was actually praying.
For Their Salvation
We are surrounded by the lost. Those who do not know Jesus as Lord and Savior are lost, unsaved, in the domain of darkness, aka. pagans. And they may well be family, neighbors, co-workers; our family doctor, the girl at the grocery checkout, a client; a person sitting next to us, or someone we consider voting for.
Why do nations turn from the Lord--and how do we return?
Many nations are living in Psalm 2—conspiring together and raging against the Lord, and rushing headlong to destruction.
