Pray for Missionaries Passage: Psalm 42:1-4, focus verse 4
As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God? My tears have been my food day and night, while they say to me all the day long, “Where is your God?” These things I remember, as I pour out my soul: how I would go with the throng and lead them in procession to the house of God with glad shouts and songs of praise, a multitude keeping festival.
The book of Psalms gives us words to speak as we commune with God. Praying the Psalms back to God is a helpful practice. In today’s passage, the psalmist confessed his longing for God, his distress over his situation, and a desire to be among the people of God.
The passage also gives words to ask the Lord to renew your longing for Him and recall His past works in moments of grief or anguish. We are encouraged to pour out our hearts to God. We see this modeled well by Jesus in the garden of Gethsemane (Matt. 26:36-46). He confessed the turmoil He was feeling, prayed for the cup to pass from Him, and submitted to His Father’s will above His comfort.
Whether believers are church planting, serving overseas, or working in another ministry context, maintaining that longing for God is essential. As you pray for missionaries and church planters today, pray for spiritual refreshment, especially for those in areas with little Christian fellowship.
Prayer Focus-Sub-Saharan African Peoples: Southern Baptist women of all ages are serving the Lord faithfully as IMB missionaries across sub-Saharan Africa, in chaotic cities or remote villages, with one purpose: to share the hope they have found in Jesus Christ. Pray these enduring servants, together or alone, will be encouraged in spirit and strengthened to press on in the task before them.

Missions Through WMU and WOM
The mission of God is a thread woven throughout the Bible from Genesis to Revelation. God makes it clear His desire is for all people to know Him and follow Him. The Bible helps us understand God’s mission and know how Christians are to be involved in His mission.
God issued the mandate for us to be involved in missions through the Great Commission. Our choice is how to be involved. WMU and WOM offers many opportunities for giving and hands-on service missions projects.
