Help me to pray for the whole church

Lord, help me to pray for the church, and not just for myself, for the church is Your Church.

Help me to pray for more my local church that the community I belong to will be the light of the world, and salt of the earth in my neighbourhood.

Help me to pray the other churches in my neighbourhood, that together our light will shine brighter, and our saltiness will be more effective.

Help me to pray the churches in the nation I live in, that together we will impact the nation for You, Lord Jesus Christ. 

Help me to pray for the churches in other nations, that they too may be lights and salt in the nations that dwell in.

Help me to pray for the persecuted church in the many nations that being a Christian means to suffer hostile discrimination, suffering, imprisonment and even death. Help me pray for the suffering church that they may have the courage to continue to praech the gospel in a difficult environment 

Help me to pray for the whole church that whatever we face we will honour You in our attitudes, words, and deeds.

Help me to pray for the whole church because it is Your church and Your heritage!

I pray this in Your own name, Lord Jesus

Amen

Ephesians 6:18–20 (ESV)

18 praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints, 19 and also for me, that words may be given to me in opening my mouth boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains, that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak.

Psalm 28:9 (ESV)

9 Oh, save your people and bless your heritage! Be their shepherd and carry them forever.
