Lord God, thank You for this new month. Lord God, may we allow You to lead us and guide us this month. Lord God, help us to listen to Your voice. Lord God, may we allow You to prepare us for all that You have planned for us this month.
Remind us that this world is not our home. As geopolitical issues increase, help us to process what we are hearing and seeing alongside Scripture. Lord God, thank You that Your Holy Spirit will help us and strengthen us when we are tested and persecuted for our faith.
Lord God, may we allow You to put the persecuted church on our hearts more this month. Lord God, help Your people to grow in discernment more this month.
Lord God, I pray against evil agendas that are attempting to infiltrate sound churches. Lord God, I ask that You would give people wisdom and discernment when it comes to the pastors they follow and the worship music they listen to.
Lord God, I pray for the people who are followers of Andy Stanley. What a sad and tragic figure he has become in the church. Lord God, open Your peoples eyes to see what is happening in the world. Lord God, may we never place any person or thing above You and Your Word. May we be more enthralled with Your Good News than with anything this world has to offer.
Lord God, thank You for this reader. Thank You Lord that even when we do not know what to pray we can have confidence that Jesus is interceding on our behalf. Lord God, help us to grow in praying for others. Open our eyes to see the needs around us. May we be intentional about finding ways to share Jesus with others.
Lord God, for my brothers and sisters who have physical, mental, emotional afflictions, I ask Lord God for You to heal them spiritually and to help them endure the trial and season they are in. Thank You and praise You Father that our trials will not last forever!
Lord God, thank You again for this reader! Lord God, may this reader love You more deeply and fully this month. In Jesus’s Name I pray. Amen.
And just imagine how Charles Stanley feels.

Thank You Mandy. Beautiful prayer beginning a new month.
I love Dr. Stanley, hopefully he has a talk with Andy!
Therefore God gave them up in the lusts of their hearts to impurity, to the dishonoring of their bodies among themselves, because they exchanged the truth about God for a lie and worshiped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever! Amen.
Blessings to You, Nathan, PQ and your readers 😇🙏

“Remind us that this world is not our home. As geopolitical issues increase…” Mandy, we need this mindset more than ever.
The crisis in Artsakh is now prelude to genocide. Under seige since 12/12/22, the deprivation is crippling Armenians. Azerbaijan has partnered with Israel and Pakistan (with Turkey a given) to call for annihilation of Armenians. Already posters and media are inciting this.
I’m so heavy hearted & trying to mobilize churches to pray. Already have one prayer meeting going.
I hope you are well sister, I think of you and pray for you too. ❤

Thank you so much Mandy. There are Christian groups and other human rights groups, Genocide Institute, etc joining to support Armenian groups and believers.
But the politics are against us…war, warped alliances, oil, and other issues. Israeli radicals are joining with Azerbaijan, Pakistan, and Turkey for a pronounced genocide campaign. If I didn’t see the posters or read of the terror acts I would not believe it. 😥
