Prayer Burdens for January 24, 2023

1. That the saints of all ages and all language backgrounds would have a renewed and sustained burden for the gospel

Romans 1:9 – For God is my witness, whom I serve in my spirit in the gospel of His Son…
Romans 1:15 – So, for my part, I am ready to announce the gospel to you also who are in Rome.
Romans 1:16 – For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God unto salvation to everyone who believes…

2. Thanksgiving to the Lord for all the young people, college age saints and young adults; let us pray that none would be “carried off as spoil” through the philosophies of this age or the temptations of the world (Col. 2:8; Matt. 6:13) but that they all would “shine as luminaries in the world” “in the midst of a crooked and perverted generation” (Phil. 2:15)
