It can be disturbing to hear Peter say that the end of all things is near. It causes us to think of all the terrible things we see throughout the world like, war, unspeakable evil, poverty, death, mass genocide, natural disaster, political upheaval, racial conflict, crippling addictions… the list could go on and on.

These are sobering things. They wake us up like prayer alarms. The troubles around us are meant to alert us and wake us up to prayer. So let’s pray!

Spend some time praying according to the points below:

  1. Ask the Lord to wake us up to the rhythm of prayer…
  2. Pray for needs in your personal life…
  3. Pray for needs in our church family…
  4. Pray for needs in our city…
  5. Pray for needs throughout the world…
  6. Pray for churches and ministries in our community and throughout the world…
  7. Pray for some specific people in our city, state, region, country and throughout the world…
