Daily Prayer Guide For Annual Conference 2026
May 1 — Holy Spirit
Holy Spirit, we invite Your presence and guidance as we plan our Annual Conference. Your Word reminds us that when the Spirit of truth comes, He will guide us into all truth. We seek Your wisdom, inspiration, and discernment in every decision we make.
John 16:13
“But when He, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on His own; He will speak only what He hears, and He will tell you what is yet to come.”
We trust in Your guidance, Holy Spirit, and invite You to lead us into planning a conference that glorifies God and blesses all who attend.
In Jesus’ name, Amen
May 2 — Leadership
Lord, we pray for those in leadership positions in the Mississippi-West Tennessee Global Methodist Church. We pray Isaiah 30:21.
Isaiah 30:21
“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’”
Provide them with the guidance they need to lead well. We pray that those in leadership seek wisdom and courage from above to lead according to Your will and Your direction. We ask for humble hearts and willing spirits. Help us to continually support those in leadership with our prayers, encouragement, and faithfulness.
In Christ Jesus, Amen
May 3 — Serving and Preparation
Lord, we pray for those who are organizing Annual Conference and for all those who are serving behind the scenes in so many ways. We ask for creativity, and for physical, mental, and spiritual strength as they prepare for Conference.
1 Corinthians 14:40
“But all things should be done decently and in order.”
Holy Spirit, fill each one and equip each one for the tasks at hand. Provide rest when it is needed. Strengthen them with the joy of the Lord.
Amen
May 4 — Speakers and Hearers
Father, we lift up those speaking at Annual Conference and those who will be hearing the messages. May each speaker be led and filled by the Holy Spirit. We pray for hearts and minds that are willing to speak Your Word, to receive Your Word, and to act upon Your Word.
2 Timothy 1:7
“For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
Amen
May 5 — Evangelism
Lord, we pray for opportunities to share Jesus with others. We pray for those who do not yet know Jesus as their Lord and Savior, those in darkness, emptiness, aloneness, and hopelessness. Prepare their hearts to receive You, Lord Jesus.
Give us boldness in Christ alone. Let Your kingdom come on earth as it is in heaven.
John 14:6
Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.”
Amen
May 6 — Pastors
Lord, we lift up to You the pastors among us. Thank You for each pastor whom You call, equip, and send to shepherd Your Church. Empower them to boldly proclaim Your Word. Provide grace upon grace. Give each one vision and clarity to lead and shepherd well.
Help them to hear Your voice, trust in You fully, and follow where You lead. Strengthen them and renew them for the work You have called them to.
1 Peter 5:2–3
“Be shepherds of God’s flock that is under your care, watching over them—not because you must, but because you are willing, as God wants you to be.”
Amen
May 7 — The Church
Father, in Christ Jesus we come and pray. May the Global Methodist Church be faithful to You and submit to You daily.
Proverbs 3:5–6
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to Him, and He will make your paths straight.”
We praise You, for You are faithful beyond measure. Your love is beyond measure. You are merciful beyond measure, and Your grace is beyond measure.
We thank You for the work You are doing and for inviting us to be involved and active in what You are doing here and throughout the world. We pray for the Acts 1:8 church. We pray for the making of disciples. Lord, keep us faithful in love and in fellowship. May others know we belong to You by our love.
Amen
