Today, after a time of silence, spend a few moments praying for the services at the various churches tomorrow. Pray for those coming to serve, the leaders leading the teams, the pastors preaching, the worship teams, those who are coming to hear the word – pray for open hearts, minds, eyes, ears, and for understanding, truth and repentance to be taking place everywhere the word is taught. Cover your teams you serve with, and the people you will encounter.
