Pray that we would honour the persecuted church by using our freedom to advance the gospel.
Remember those facing opposition for their faith and pray for strength and courage to remain faithful to Jesus and that they would experience his peace and joy.
Pray that we would resist the temptations that the devil used on Jesus. That we would surrender to the Father's will and reject the seduction of immediacy, glory and power.
Ask the Holy Spirit to lead us into new opportunities to witness and for his great power to fill our hearts.
Repent from any attitudes that have sought safety and comfort as the goal of faith, and turn back in surrender to following Jesus into sharing the good news.
Pray that the evil one would be defeated wherever he attempts to hinder the work of the gospel through his church.
Pray for The Grove, that God would empower us and enable us to have victory over opposition and to find strength and courage to press on.
Pray that we would grow in our faith through the opposition we encounter. Pray for a deeper dependence and experience of Jesus.
