Praying for a People Group
1. Praise the Lord that “a people for his name” will be established from among every people (Rev. 7:9-10).
2. Demolish spiritual strongholds and human philosophies or arguments against God which produce barriers of resistance to the gospel (2 Cor. 10:4-5).
3. Pray that willing, skillful workers would be sent to reach this people group (Matt. 9:38).
4. Believe God to enlighten the minds of the people about their worship of other gods (Psalm 115:4-8).
5. Plead for the opening of eyes to the revelation of the creator God and his Son, Jesus Christ (Eph. 1:17-18).
6. Ask God to give understanding and discernment to those who communicate truth that it may be clearly understood (1 Peter 1:18-19).
7. Intercede for people to come to faith in Christ, repenting from their sin and from their own good works (Eph. 2:8-9).
8. Ask that new believers will share the gospel as bold witnesses (Acts 4:29-31).
