BIBLE READINGS:
- Colossians 1:15–23; Revelation 21:1–7
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
- In what ways am I prone to short-change the person and ministry of Jesus? In my life? In the lives of others?
- Why might I take comfort in a diminished view of who Jesus is and what he has done?
- How might I better understand and commit to Jesus to change or expand my ministry or the ministry of others?
PERSONAL PRAYER:
- That God would show you the practical implications of what a grander understanding of who Jesus is would mean for life and ministry.
- That you would have a constantly growing desire to know and to love Jesus more deeply.
- That God would give you an increased desire to share with others who Jesus is in his fullness.
LISTENING PRAYER:
- Jesus, what have I forgotten, overlooked, or not yet realized about who you are that you want me to discover or remember?
MISSIONAL PRAYER:
- Fort St. John (Oil, gas, and energy belt) | Pray for integrity, safety, and wisdom among industry leaders and workers. Ask God to bring stability in seasons of economic fluctuation. Pray for families affected by shift work, layoffs, and the pressures of a resource-based economy.
- We bring the Sasak people of Indonesia before You. You know their struggles—poverty, natural disasters, and fragile family life. Comfort those who are hurting and provide healing for those traumatized by hardship. Lord, strengthen families and bring peace to their homes. We pray for protection from disasters, and for improved health and care for mothers and children. We ask that Your love and truth would reach the Sasak people. Encourage the few believers among them and give them courage to share Your hope. May Your light shine in their communities and transform hearts for Your glory.
