A Prayer for Missionaries
For those who carry the gospel far from home — boldness, protection, and fruit.
Somewhere right now, someone is serving Christ far from everything familiar. This prayer is for them — pray it over missionaries you know by name.
The prayer
Father, thank you for those who have gone — who left comfort and kin to carry the good news where it is not yet known.
Protect them: their health, their families, their travel, their spirits on the discouraged days. Provide for them generously, and remind them they are not forgotten.
Give them boldness to speak, wisdom to love the culture they serve, and fruit that lasts. Open doors no one can shut.
And stir us who stay: to give, to write, to pray without ceasing for them. Lord of the harvest, send forth labourers — and sustain the ones already in the field. Amen.
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Lo, I am with you alway — the promise attached to the going. It holds in every time zone.
