Monthly Prayer Focus

October, 2025

The Prayer Focus for October deals with various aspects of patience. Our society has become so fast-paced, rewarding quick responses over quality service, instant gratification, and no tolerance for values or opinions that are different. In your prayers this month, please take time and wait patiently for the Lord and then begin your conversation with Him:

Have you been praying for a family member or friend? Wait in a prayerful attitude for the Lord to arrive and then pray for that individual again.
Is there an older or younger person in your family, who is trying your patience? Sometimes, the young can be too quick and the old too slow to suit us. Ask the Lord for an extra measure of grace.
If you are drawn into a political argument, ask the Lord for patience. Then, listen to the other person and hear them out. Don’t try to score your points, or change their mind. Listening and tolerating their viewpoint does not mean you agree that they are right, but perhaps a bit of understanding will result from listening.
When you give to the church, does your neighbor seem more prosperous? Over time, the Lord will bless you abundantly in other ways. Be patient and watch for those blessings.
In past months, we have listened to what the Lord may be trying to say to us. It takes practice and patience to allow the Lord to break through the noise, “hectivity,” and busyness of daily life.
