From the Pastors at Joy

Praying through 1 Peter: Friday

  • Pray that the elders of JCF would be faithful in their calling to shepherd this flock: to oversee and equip the Body for ministry, and to set an example for the flock, willingly, eagerly and humbly (5:1-5).
  • Pray that the flock would walk in submission and respect for the elders, following them as they follow Christ; and that all of us would be clothed with humility towards one another (5:5-6).
  • Pray that we would intimately know God's power and His care for His people, and thus cast our anxieties upon Him (5:7). 
  • Pray that we would live in a sober-minded and watchful manner, knowing that our enemy is real and is seeking to devour us; that we would enable us to resist Him by faith, and with the confidence in His coming salvation (5:8-11)
  • Pray that we would turn from all desires for self-rule, knowing that to Him alone be dominion forever and ever (5:11).
  • Pray that we would be a people who would stand firm in the true grace of God (5:12).
  • Pray that a spirit of tenderness and love would characterize our relationships with one another, and that His peace which surpasses understanding would fill us (5:14).
