Prayer Support for Missionaries: Acts 14:1-7

by on October 09, 2021

Pray for their joy in the midst of suffering (Acts 14:1–2).

Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

Missionaries often face various forms and levels of suffering in their work. Pray that they would experience the joy of intimacy with Christ in the midst of it.

Pray for their kindness in the midst of slander (Acts 14:1–2).

Now at Iconium they entered together into the Jewish synagogue and spoke in such a way that a great number of both Jews and Greeks believed. 2 But the unbelieving Jews stirred up the Gentiles and poisoned their minds against the brothers.

Though missionaries face suffering and difficulty, pray that the character of Christ and the power of his Spirit enable them to respond with grace.

Pray for supernatural power to accompany them (Acts 14:3).

3 So they remained for a long time, speaking boldly for the Lord, who bore witness to the word of his grace, granting signs and wonders to be done by their hands.

Pray that missionaries would speak the Word with boldness and that supernatural power would accompany its proclamation.

Pray for Christlike humility to characterize them (Acts 14:4–7).

4 But the people of the city were divided; some sided with the Jews and some with the apostles. 5 When an attempt was made by both Gentiles and Jews, with their rulers, to mistreat them and to stone them, 6 they learned of it and fled to Lystra and Derbe, cities of Lycaonia, and to the surrounding country, 7 and there they continued to preach the gospel.

Pray that missionaries would overcome the temptation to be prideful in their work by the power of the Spirit.
