Great resource for daily prayer for the world

After nearly a decade, the latest edition of Operation World: The Definitive Prayer Guide to Every Nation has been released. As the title indicates, it is a well-researched and rich resource that facilitates informed prayer for every people in the world. I have enjoyed using the paperback edition during my daily devotions. This week I was particularly burdened to pray for salvation, healing, and rescue for the 30 million victims of human trafficking, 80% of whom are women and children. Also, I was reminded to pray for 2252 cultural groups that still do not have the Bible in their first language. The book is organized with a calendar so that individuals can pray for a country everyday. Our church is also following OW for prayer in our small groups. Aside from the paperback version, you can also sign up to receive daily email prayer updates and access other prayer resources.

In personal and group prayer, let us pray with the Psalmist: "[God] that your way will be known on earth, your saving power among all nations. Let the peoples praise you O God; let all the peoples praise you" (Psalm 67:1b-2).
