We pray that our engagement on issues of climate change would not be a distraction from sharing the gospel and living out transformed lives of faithful discipleship. Do not allow the current climate debate to divert us from other issues that Christians are compelled to address: the tragedy of abortion, the defense of marriage and strong families, the promotion of religious freedom at home and abroad, and care for the poor and persecuted, the weak and handicapped, the widow, orphan, and prisoner. We pray instead that our faithfulness to Your Word, and its demands on our lives and our culture, would be the wellspring of our action, and that Your Holy Spirit would guide us to lives that wholly reflect Your love for the world (Acts 20:27).

We pray that You would grant us the power to live out our beliefs in our personal lives; that You would cause us to be faithful stewards of Your resources under our care; and that we would always look first to our own responsibility to do justice, to love kindness, and to walk humbly with You (Micah 6:8).
