In Acts 6, the elders addressed the problem of widows who were not being cared for by appointing believers to care for them so that the apostles could devote themselves "to prayer and to the ministry of the word" (Acts 6:4). Biblical churches emphasize the ministry of the Word. The centrality of preaching is never disconnected from fervent, faithful prayer. In Acts 6, prayer comes before the preaching. Prayer is the power behind ministering the Word.
Pray for God's people (the church). Pray for the people within your local church. Pray that they will receive and understand the teaching of the Word, and that the Holy Spirit will guide them as they apply it. Pray that the members of your local church (and the church in general) will deal with sin, forsake ungodliness of all forms, and grow in sanctification, Christ-likeness, and usefulness. Bring before the Lord any and all specific needs, spiritual and otherwise, of the members of God's church (local and otherwise). Pray that God's Word will have free course in your local church, that the biblical truth preached and taught will go forth unobstructed (2 Thess. 3). There is a profound and urgent hunger for in-depth Bible teaching.
True Christians pray, and want to pray more effectively.
