Standing With Those Who Know Something Must Change
SCRIPTURE ANCHOR
“The desire of the slothful killeth him; for his hands refuse to labour.” Proverbs 21:25 KJV
TODAY’S FOCUS
Some situations require us to wait upon God; others require us to act upon what we already know. Sometimes, a conversation needs to happen, an appointment needs to be made, a habit needs to change, help needs to be requested, and responsibility needs attention.
Prayer is not a substitute for obedience or responsible action. Today, we pray for the wisdom and courage to recognize our next step, and take it.
TODAY’S PRAYER FOCUS
1) Clarity: Pray to recognize what is genuinely beyond our control and what God has already placed within our responsibility.
2) Courage: Pray for strength to address matters we have postponed.
3) Discipline: Stand against procrastination, avoidance, and patterns that undermine progress.
4) Wise action: Pray that our next steps will be thoughtful, responsible, and consistent with God’s Word.
JOIN TODAY’S PRAYER WATCH
Is there something you know you need to address?
You do not have to tell us what it is. Simply write:
“Pray for my next step.” And when someone does pray. Don’t investigate.
#PRAYEROFAGREEMENT
Abba Father,
Give us wisdom to recognize what requires prayerful waiting and what requires responsible action.
Strengthen us to confront what we have avoided and obey what You have already made clear. Deliver us from procrastination, fear, and excuses. Order our steps and establish us in faithful action. In the matchless name of Jesus Christ, Amein.
WATCHMAN’S DECLARATION
I will not use prayer to avoid responsibility.
I receive wisdom to know my part, courage to take the next step, and discipline to follow through.
SWATS PRAYER CHALLENGE
After you pray today, take one responsible step concerning something you have been postponing.
PONDER THIS
Sometimes the answer to “What should I pray?” is followed by another question: “What must I now do?”
