Favorable weather for crops and the safety of the farmers who grow them. Patience and common sense for drivers who encounter farmers and agriculture workers driving large pieces of equipment on rural roads.
Safety for children who like to play outdoors in areas that may have ticks. Diligence for parents to check their children for ticks.
For YOU! To get a break and to have time with your family away from all distractions! Everyone needs a break sometimes and Pastors always get forgotten when it comes to this. Blessing to you and your family…
For those of us who didn’t grow up in Texas, that we would stop complaining about the weather and accept the heat & humidity as from the loving hand of God, who knows what’s best for us!
Not specific to summer and relaxation but more urgent. For Christians suffering persecutions right now all over the world. Especially in the Israel/Palestine conflict. Pastor Munther Isaac, a Lutheran pastor at a church in Bethlehem has opened my eyes to the suffering there and surprisingly by who is making them suffer so much.
Yes, this is so much needed. For the Prince of Peace to bring love and forgiveness to both Israeli and Arabs - a miracle only our Lord and Savior can do.
It's not the Muslims. It is the Israeli government and military. Pastor Munther Isaac was interviewed by Tucker Carlson and it recently showed up on my feed on YouTube. My father also reminded me of a Christian man from Bethlehem who use to come to our town every Nov and had a booth in our mall, selling hand made wooden items for Christmas. One year we visited him and my father asked him how was life there in Bethlehem. The man told us that the Christians and Muslims get along very well, the only time there is trouble is when the Israeli military shows up.
Please keep our Christian brothers and sisters in Christ over there in your prayers. 🙏🏻
And yet the duped dispensational, Evangelical Christians in the U.S. keep pushing for more $ for the nonbelieving Jews as the supposed "chosen people".... who, as is no surprise are more hostile to the Christians in Israel than are the Muslims.
Peace and protection for those full-time and short term missionaries ministering in Haiti.
Peace and comfort to America as this nation moves toward elections this year. The winds of politics are blowing stronger than hurricanes and tornadoes with seemingly no place to weather this storm.
For quiet times to worship the Lord and study his Word as we pray in the Collect for the Word.
Energy and encouragement for all the college kids who are spreading the Gospel at Christian summer camps, and everyone serving the Lord in outdoor ministry!
Especially the video games… wisdom for parents to have the conversations with their kids about this, the ability to come up with a plan, and the strength to execute it, lovingly.
Open doors to share Jesus with neighbors and speak his truth and redemption into their lives.
For those addicted to pornography, that their minds would be captivated by their creator instead.
We have been having a lot of destructive weather all over the world. I came across this verse in Ezekiel 34:26 „ And I will make them and the place all around my hill a blessing, and I will send down showers in their season, they shall be showers of blessing.“ So I have started to pray for showers of blessing ( both spiritual and in the natural) and not destruction.
1. To continue during summer vacation schedules with the daily habits of Scripture reading, meditation and prayer. 2. Faithfulness to Christ for young men despite few Christian friends.
Prayers for all those children across this country who may be attending Vacation Bible School for the first time and will come away from it knowing Jesus and singing great songs!! So thankful for what VBS has done in my life & in others I know and love!!
Prayers of Thanksgiving for the work of PrBW. Summer means more time at home for me and Im able to catch up on all of St. Pauls weekly church services, World Wide Bible Study and What Not, the Podcast with Pr Packer and the Sunday Drives Home. Lord God, continue to inspire him.
Father in heaven, as you protect and save us your children from the scorching heat of sin and the fire of hell, protect us also in this life from the elements of the world, and shield us from all evil, until we attain to the perfection of your presence and eternal life in your new creation, by the mercy of Jesus Christ our Lord.
For those who will be traveling...safe journey. For those who can no longer afford a getaway vacation...may you find blessings and adventure close to home. For the freedom to enjoy summer like a child...carefree, playful, no worries....even if just for a few hours.
Harmony for those traveling together. Bickering is too easy to do. Appreciation for our families, friends, the gifts of God that we enjoy but so often without appreciation. Physical safety during unexpected encounters with wildlife, caution in giving wildlife a wide berth. Less time spent on devices and more time spent enjoying each other’s company. Regular Bible reading, prayer, thanksgiving to our God who created and sustains us, our Savior who redeemed us and always interceded for us, the Holy Spirit who indwells us.
For those of us living in the US, thankfulness for what we have (still a fair amount of freedoms, so many blessings from God, etc.) in this country (especially appropriate right around the 4th)
For those injured by the COVID-19 vaccines who continue being gaslit by those around them who do not accept that the injuries are not just "coincidences." For those around them to open their eyes and ears and see and hear the evil in this world that has brought us to this point. This prayer from 2 summers ago continues to be valid (and its footnotes instructive). https://followingthecovidscience.substack.com/p/a-prayer-for-our-time-1

Free time, spent in the Word. No room for boredom.

Open doors to share Jesus with neighbors and speak his truth and redemption into their lives.
For those addicted to pornography, that their minds would be captivated by their creator instead.
