Over the next two days, we will follow two different examples of Jesus’ prayers as patterns we can also follow in our prayers: today, from John 17 and tomorrow, from Matthew 6.
Before going to the cross, John records a lengthy prayer in which Jesus prays for himself, for his disciples and for all believers. Read John 17 and then, following that model, make a list of things to pray over in the same three categories today:
Prayers for yourself:

Prayers for the local body of believers (your local church, women´s ministry, or your IRSM group):

Prayers for all believers worldwide:

Just as we follow Christ’s pattern from John 17 today, it has been a joy and a blessing to know that all this month, we have joined in prayer for many of the same things as one voice on behalf of Iron Rose Sister Ministries! Please continue to lift us up in your daily prayers.

One of the things we are passionate about as a ministry is small groups.
The books I write are designed to be studied in small groups.
After every class in the seminars, we provide handouts with guided discussion questions to be answered in the context of small groups. It brings the lessons to a much more personal and practical level, rather than just the theoretical with examples I have shared during the teaching.
By opening up in the setting of small groups, we learn from each other’s perspectives and grow in our relationships with God and one another.
Another of the other vital aspects of small groups is prayer.
By praying together, we help carry each other’s burdens (Gal. 6:2), spur one another on (Heb. 10:24), rejoice with those who rejoice and mourn with those who mourn (Rom. 12:15).
Prayer forges bonds that Satan cannot break.
