June 2026
“How wonderful it is, how pleasant, for God's people to live together in harmony!”
Psalm 133:1, Good News Translation
1. We pray with our partners at Community of Hope for continued discernment for God's leading, protection for survivors and staff, and increased financial blessings to do God's work. Thank You, Lord, for all You have done and are doing.
2. Dear Lord, thank You for the beauty of Your creation. As we enter the summer season, help us to be faithful stewards of the earth, caring for the land, water and resources You have entrusted to us.
3. Dear Lord, we pray for the oceans and coastal communities of Atlantic Canada. Protect those who work at sea, provide for fishing families, and help us to care responsibly for marine life and ecosystems.
4. Dear Lord, we pray for children who are forced into labour or exploitation. Bring justice where there is injustice, and raise up leaders and ministries who will protect their dignity and future.
5. Dear Lord, we lift up seniors in our churches and communities.
Protect them from loneliness and harm, surround them with care and remind them of their deep value and importance in Your kingdom.
6. Dear Lord, thank You for the good work being done by CBM partners in Bolivia. We pray in particular for Emmanuel Baptist Church in La Paz, and their community initiatives that are providing for the spiritual, mental, and physical health of families. We pray You would strengthen and sustain this ministry, and may it lead to strong and healthy families.

9. We pray, Lord, for all the staff of Baptist camps across Atlantic Canada as they prepare for summer. Encourage them with renewed passion and energy as they embark on a summer full of challenges, fun, and poignant moments. Be with the campers as well as they learn and grow in You.
10. Dear Lord, we thank You for the gift of food and those who grow and prepare it. Help us to share generously, reduce waste, and care for those who are facing food insecurity in our communities.

13. Dear Lord, thank You for the hard work of the staff at CBM to produce the 2026 Camp Resources, so that kids can learn about the work of missions in Kenya. We pray that these lessons will take root in little hearts and raise a generation who is curious about the world around them, compassionate towards those of other cultures, and excited about spreading Your Word.

15. Dear Lord, we pray for those who have experienced trauma, violence, or injustice. Bring healing to their hearts and minds, restore their dignity, and surround them with care and support.

17. Thank You, Lord, for the work that our ABW groups are doing in our communities, to provide for the needs of those who need it most. Encourage and equip them to continue being a blessing during the summer months.
18. Dear Lord, we pray for women in our groups who are seeking to be mentored, or to mentor others. Connect these women with others who are like-minded, so that strong and impactful relationships may form. May we learn from one-another, build each other up, and be a community of grace.
19. Dear Lord, thank You for the opportunity to learn from the book of Matthew this issue. We pray that as we read the background to this powerful book, You would open our hearts to learn from Your word. May we be ready in September to dive into the study of Your life, work, and words.

23. Dear Lord, as many of our members travel this summer, we pray for travelling mercies. Keep them safe and healthy as they venture out on vacation, family visits, or for work.
24. Dear Lord, we pray for couples in our church communities. We know that there are many challenges for families in 2026, and that these can impact relationships. Be the glue that holds couples together, and may they be strong examples of Your love to the young people around them.
25. We pray for children, youth and young adults in our communities this summer as they take a well-deserved break from their studies. Give them rest, strengthen their family relationships, and may they have a renewed sense of purpose for the coming school year.
26. We pray for parents this summer, who often find it challenging to provide opportunities to their children for fun and learning, while they themselves must continue working. Give them the patience, energy, and resources so that they can carry on, and facilitate a wonderful summer for their kids.
27. Thank You, Lord for the opportunity some of our ABW women had to attend the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women in New York this year. As we read their reflections, may we be open to Your voice in our hearts on how we can contribute to the wellbeing of women in our communities and around the world.
28. Repeat prayer from yesterday.
29. God, we join with the Baptist World Alliance to pray for the Association of Bible Baptist Churches in Madagascar, as many of their members suffer the after-effects of Tropical Cyclone Gezani, including flooding that damaged crops, houses, and church buildings. Give them the resources to rebuild and provide for people in their communities.
30. Father, we pray for next month’s 2026 Baptist World Alliance Annual Gathering in Toronto, July 6–10. We pray that those who attend in person and virtually would be encouraged, equipped, and united in a shared mission and hope.
