Father, I’m praying for these (name them) who are serving in
ministries or are on mission for You…
Whenever they’re on mission with You, there is cost involved,
especially travel expenses. As Nehemiah prayed before he spoke
to the king, these people have asked for favor with those who
could and would give, and I thank You for those who have.
(Nehemiah 1:4, 5-6a, 11; 2:4-5, 8b)
I’m grateful for people who give financially to cover their
costs and those who share resources to meet other needs.
Help them be cheerful givers who give generously, and then
increase their finances and bless them in every way so they
can keep on being generous. Enable them to give again and
again to those on mission and in ministry–and then in return,
meet all of their needs from Your glorious riches in Christ.
(Romans 12:6a, 8b; 2 Corinthians 9:7-8; Philippians 4:16-19)
May Your provision for them also include health, strength,
and stamina. Give those on mission the ability to adapt to
any changes in time, climate, or diet. Keep them from getting
sick and protect them from injury. Give them a sensitivity to
any cultural differences, and keep them from inadvertently
offending anyone. (Luke 10:1-7; 1 Corinthians 9:22)
In Jesus’ name, amen.
