Matthew 15:1-20 records Jesus’ bold words directed at the Pharisees
and the Scribes. Jesus’ response to these religious leaders ought to cause us
to reflect on our own understanding of what it means to be right with God. Please
join with your church family as we ask God to help us know Him and live for
Him.
Prayer Guide: Feb 9, 2020 – Matthew 15:1-20

us from all unrighteousness in Jesus Christ. Give Him thanks that He does not
hold our sins against us.
2. Confess to God your on-going struggle against the flesh and
your desire to walk with the Spirit.
3. Ask God’s Spirit to continue to purify your heart so that your
greatest loyalty and devotion is to Jesus.
4. Pray for wisdom and grace to clearly communicate the gospel to
people in your life who are still dead in their trespasses and sins.
5. Pray that God would increase our love for His people at Trinity
Baptist Church and that we would be committed to stewarding all that He has
entrusted to us (spiritual gifts, time, energy, money) for His glory and the
good of His people.
6. Plead with God to do His work of salvation in our midst…to open
the eyes of the spiritually blind and give spiritual life to spiritually dead
people.
