Things to Pray for!

Let us look at five things we should pray for in our daily prayer life. As we pray for others we want to seriously look at what God desires for each of us.

1. Pray for increased effectiveness, productivity, and fruitfulness. Pray that the persons will become more fruitful in every good work and deed.

2. Pray for increased devotional growth or spirituality. Pray that they might know him and draw near to him in increased intimacy.

3. Pray for an increase of strength. You could call this "increased durability," where the worker or person will have a thick skin like a rhinoceros, but with a tender heart.

4. Pray for an increase of faith.

5. Pray for an increase of joy. Pray that they will have a increased delight in the work of the Lord. Ask God to bless them and pray for a bucket of joy to be dumped on their heads. The joy of the Lord is our strength. (Neh.8:10)
