Pray As You Go

If you pass by one of our BAGBR churches as you're driving around town, take a moment and say a brief word of prayer for that church and its pastor. It's a great way to lift up our pastors and churches other than just in your designated prayer time, and also helps in our quest to "pray without ceasing" (I Thessalonians 5:17).

You can also lift up our brothers and sisters at churches of other denominations you pass. And, on a road trip, pray for all the churches along your route. It sure beats the license plate game! Get the whole family involved-- it's a fun and easy way to teach your children or grandchildren the importance of prayer.

Not sure how to pray for a pastor or church you're not familiar with? Try praying:

For the pastor:

• Wisdom and discernment
• That God would protect his study and prayer time from interruption
• Health
• That God would protect his family from Satan's attacks
• Encouragment from his congregation
• Godly strength to stand firm against temptation
• That he would be a Godly husband and father

For the church:

• That God would root out any corporate sin and worldliness that has taken hold
• That God would stir more people to pray and study their Bibles
• Unity
• Passion for the things of God
• A Godly desire to serve
• That God would protect the worship service from distractions
• Revival
• Biblical literacy

So get your motor runnin', get out on the highway, and pray, pray, pray!
