Christian Parents & Their Children Around the World

Deuteronomy 6:7

(from William Tyndale’s 1526 translation of the Bible into English, available on biblehub.com)

This verse immediately follows the great and first commandment to love the LORD our God with all that we are, and to keep His words in our hearts. It is very interesting that the word translated diligently in verse seven literally means “to whet, sharpen.” (Later on in the chapter, the word diligently appears again, but this time it’s the Hebrew word meaning “to keep, guard.”) This is a powerful word picture! Parents are to take God’s Word, and whet it against their children’s lives by repeated use. This will cause His Word to become sharp in its effectiveness in their lives. Hebrews 4:12 states that God’s Word is indeed a powerful and sharp sword; it is therefore the greatest endeavor of parenting to sharpen our children’s hearts and lives to be receptive to it. His Word can be applied and discussed at any given time to any given situation, per the rest of verse seven. No human mandate can override this God-given commission.

  1. Pray for Christian parents around the world to love God with all of their hearts and to have His words in their hearts.
  2. Pray for Christian parents to wisely and intentionally whet His words on the lives of their children.
  3. Pray for these children to themselves become / remain wholehearted followers of their God, who will pass His words on to their children.

World News Today

In an avalanche of volatile world events, everyday there are breaking news stories which represent multitudes of human lives affected and in need of prayer. Today, three of those are TGP’s focus:

  1. Japan’s megaquake advisory: As a result of last Thursday’s 7.1 earthquake, conditions in the undersea Nankai Trough could produce a 9.1 magnitude megaquake and tsunami. Japanese citizens have been advised to prepare as best they can, as especially the next week is a time of concern. Pray for everyone facing anxiety over the unknown future to hear the gospel and how to find stability in the unchanging Lord of all.
  2. Major protests in Serbia against lithium mining occurred yesterday. Pray for an individual caught up in the political fervor to discover and choose the best Cause to live for – the kingdom of our God and of His Christ.
  3. Pray for the many families of people who died in a plane crash in Brazil on Friday, including eight cancer doctors.

2 Corinthians 4:3-4

But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost, in whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the glorious gospel of Christ, Who is the image of God, should shine unto them.

  1.   It is estimated that 3.2 billion people have never heard the name Jesus. ( https://abwe.org/blog/prayer-focus/ ). Imagine the implications of that fact, for both this life and eternity. Jesus said “the field is the world,” and also to pray that the Lord of the harvest would thrust out labourers into His field (Matt. 13:38, 9:36-38).
  2.    Chattogram, Bangladesh: As of 2022, Christianity comprises only one third of one percent of the nation’s population. Pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ who make up this tiny percent to be steadfast in their faith, and have opportunities for continuing discipleship and fellowship with other believers.
