O God, with all our hearts, we long for you. Come, transform us to be Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, Mission-focused people, multiplying disciples everywhere.
BIBLE READINGS:
- Numbers 21:4–9; John 3:9–21
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
- Are there ways in which you have become impatient with the journey that God is taking you on? How might this be an invitation to centre yourself on Christ?
- Are there ways you have been hiding in the dark for fear of condemnation? How might Jesus be inviting you to come into the light?
- Are you living rooted in your identity of Christ?
PERSONAL PRAYER:
- That our eyes would be centred on Jesus, who has been lifted up through his death and resurrection to save us.
- That we would choose light instead of darkness and gratitude instead of complaining.
LISTENING PRAYER:
- Jesus, in what ways have my eyes become centred on difficult circumstances instead of centred on you?
- How can I lift my eyes up instead of down?
MISSIONAL PRAYER:
- Vancouver Island (Victoria, Nanaimo, Port Alberni) | Pray for spiritual openness and creative expressions of Jesus-centered community emerging in coastal and island contexts.
- 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 and stability to their homes. We pray for protection from earthquakes and floods, 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.
