Things to Pray during the Prayer Wheel 72 hour vigil

Tres Dias community members often state they have trouble identifying specific things to pray for, especially if they have committed to a full hour of prayer.

The following list is not complete, but it may help get you started. Just move down the list in your prayers, or start at any point and let the Spirit lead you from that point forward (Romans 8:26, 27). Regardless of how you go about it, just do it.

Candidates and team members are counting on you. More importantly, Christ is counting on you!!

For Candidates Pray:
