Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles. And let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us,
2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith. For the joy set before him he endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Hebrews 12:1-2
Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before You with hearts ready to serve and obey Your call as we prepare for Gospel Parade Aleyita – Harvest of Souls 2026: Reaching the Unreached with the Love of Christ.
Lord, we acknowledge that in our daily lives, we are surrounded by countless distractions—noise, worries, busyness, and internal struggles that compete for our attention and draw us away from Your purpose.
Today, we surrender every distraction at Your feet.
Help Us Fix Our Eyes on Jesus
Father, give us the grace to focus on Christ—the Author and Finisher of our faith. Strengthen our minds so we are not swayed by circumstances or overwhelmed by the pressures around us. Teach us to look steadily to Jesus for direction, courage, and peace.
Guard Our Hearts and Minds
Protect us from wandering thoughts, spiritual fatigue, and anything that drains our passion for Your work. Fill us with the Holy Spirit and grant us the discipline to reject whatever pulls us away from Your presence in Jesus name.
Give Us Wisdom and Self-Control
Lord, help us set healthy boundaries that prioritize spiritual growth. Empower us to say no to unnecessary busyness and yes to the assignments You have given us for this outreach in Jesus' name. Strengthen our resolve to pursue Kingdom matters with excellence, focus, and joy in Jesus' name.
Renew Our Hope and Joy
Father, we place our trust in You. Let Your joy sustain us, Your peace steady us, and Your faithfulness encourage us. Keep our hearts from discouragement and remind us that You are with us in every step of the preparation of this outreach. Thank You for empowering us to remain focused, disciplined, and spiritually alert. We declare that our eyes are fixed on Jesus, and nothing will hinder the work You have entrusted to us.
In Jesus mighty name we pray! Amen
