Praying for missionaries who are our family

I pray daily for our daughter and son-in-love who are serving on the mission field. At times I search for fresh ways to pray for them. . . I like the prayer card Nav Press has and am using that at this time. Anyone else pray regularly for missionaries? Much less missionaries who are members of your family?

  • Rounds,
    God bless missionary parents. What a sacrifice you make.
    My children are not missionaries, but here's a prayer based on the prayer Jesus prayed for his followers in John 17 the night before the crucifixion. I call it 'Jesus Prayer'.

    Pray that your child is:
    - Secure in their faith in Christ
    - Joyful in their love of Christ
    - Protected in their obedience to Christ
    - Holy in their daily walk with Christ
    - In fellowship with other believers in Christ
    - Glorified in the likeness of Christ
    - And a companion forever with Christ

    You can pray those things for an individual in about a minute.
    Hope that's helpful.

  • My daughter, SIL and two grandchilldren are missionaries in Africa and have been for past 17 years. My prayer time for them increases as we wait on God's faithfulness in bringing Muslims to Christ. Frequent exchanges with them allow for the freshness in my prayers for them, as well as seeing God response to their needs. Missions has always been a major part of our family and our personal devotional life.
  • I know of a couple resources--one a "How to pray for missionaries" bookmark which you can order from http://imbresources.org/index.cfm/fa/store.prod/ProdID/1754.cfm or go to this link, http://www.imb.org/main/pray/prayerrequests/prayerguide.asp, to see a prayer guide. May the Lord lead you in wisdom and bless your family in remarkable ways as you serve Him. Eleanor
