Today's Focus · Wednesday, November 11
The World & the Persecuted Church
Today's focus is missionaries, unreached places, and believers who face real risk for following Jesus. This can be hard to make personal if you don't know anyone serving overseas, so lean on specifics where you have them and let the rest stretch your prayer beyond your own daily life. Spend real time here rather than rushing through it. This is a good time to slow down rather than rush the list.
Pray For
- A missionary or missionary family you know, by name
- Believers facing persecution for their faith right now
- People and places that have never heard the gospel
- Bible translation and Scripture access around the world
- Christian workers who are discouraged or isolated
- Open doors for the gospel in closed or difficult places
- The global church, that it would stay faithful under pressure
Also Today
Veterans Day
Today's normal focus stays in place, and adds one more thing alongside it: take a moment to thank God for those who've served in the military, and to pray for veterans carrying wounds that don't always show.
- Veterans you know personally, by name
- Veterans dealing with physical or invisible wounds
- Military families adjusting to civilian life
- Chaplains and others who support veterans
