Open Heavens Devotional – April 10, 2026: Prayers for the Church
In today’s Open Heavens devotional, Pastor E. A. Adeboye guides us to pray for the church. We meditate on Colossians 4:2 (“Continue in prayer, and watch in the same with thanksgiving”) and read Matthew 9:34–38, where Jesus is moved with compassion for the crowd scattered like sheep without a shepherd. The devotional offers twelve focused prayer points. We ask God to strengthen leaders, sanctify the community, banish darkness, supply every need, uproot false teachings, support persecuted believers and more. There is also space for your personal prayers. Follow the Bible-in-One-Year plan by reading 1 Kings 3–5 today. The featured hymn is “Sweet Hour of Prayer,” reminding us of the power of a devoted hour at God’s throne. Reflect on five self-check questions drawn from the memory verse, scripture reading and prayer points to deepen your understanding and engagement.
