Help them prove faithful with the things you have entrusted to each of them. Teach them Your ways so that they know You and find favor with You as they lead us. Keep them open and honest before You and help them to represent the truth plainly. (2 Corinthians 4:1; 1 Corinthians 4:1-3 Exodus 33:13)

Philippians 4:4-7 Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your

gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious

about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your

requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all

understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in

Christ Jesus.

1. Please pray for Jim and Terry H. as they travel to Europe to reach youth for Christ with Young Life Ministries. Pray for wisdom and coordination for summer camps in June; for those traveling with them, some from GBC; for restored health for Terri and daughter, Rachel; and for adequate resources. Pray that our Lord will prepare the hearts of those who will be touched during these summer camps.

2. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, pray that we hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weakness, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrews 4:14-16)

Raise up another Josiah who renewed the covenant of his people with You — “to follow the Lord and keep His commands.” (2 Chronicles 15:1-17; 2 Chronicles 19:4-20:32)

Equip us as we put on the full armor of God so that we can stand against the devil’s schemes…so that when the day of evil comes, we may be able to stand our ground…taking up the Sword of the Spirit that is the Word of God…and pray. With this in mind, we remain self-controlled and alert while we keep on praying until we prevail in prayer. And we keep on watching expectantly. Is this the year of Your return? Come Lord Jesus… (Ephesians 6:10-18; 1 Peter 4:7; Revelation 22:20)

15. Pray and ask God to give the leaders of our country and state wisdom and courage to be godly righteous leaders. " ... for dominion belongs to the Lord, and he rules over the nations." (Psalm 22:28 NIV); "In the LORD’s hand the king's heart is a stream of water that he channels toward all who please him." (Proverbs 21:1 NIV)
