Primary Focus

Pray that we would invest in the treasure of the kingdom of heaven.

Key Scripture

Matthew 13:44 “The kingdom of heaven is like treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field.”

Ways To Pray

Pray that we would continually remember that all we have is a gift from the Lord, and that the Spirit would enable us to generously use all we’ve been given for the work of building His kingdom.

Pray that the Lord would convict us of the ways we are holding too tightly to what He has entrusted us with, and that we would be moved to take brave steps of sacrificial giving, trusting He will always meet our needs.

Pray that we would seek out opportunities to invest in kingdom work and be filled with excitement to participate in them.

Pray that we would consider any ways that our lifestyle might be holding us back from fully participating in serving God with our resources, and that the Spirit would give us the courage to make dramatic changes so we can be free to invest in God’s kingdom work.

Kids Pray Too
