November 2026 Prayer Targets​

“Give thanks to the Lord, for He is good. His love endures forever” 1 Chronicles 16:34

“Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins." 1 Peter 4:8

 

Pray for the Body of Christ and our Thanksgiving gatherings: that as we cultivate thankful hearts and rejoice in God's limitless love, our love for Him overflows to one another, inspiring and empowering us through the Holy Spirit to reach those alienated from Christ's love.

May we serve with grateful hearts, delighting in the privilege of serving together; that all we do be done with joy and love, affirming our unity in Him.

 

For families suffering relational estrangement or loss, carrying this burden into the holiday season, we pray for restoration and healing, softening of hearts, humility to forgive, and open hearts to receive the return of the prodigals. https://www.focusonthefamily.com/ages-19-adult-child-everyday-parenting/family-estrangement-6-ways-to-reconcile-with-adult-children

 

For Persecuted Christians of North Africa suffering exploitation under weak, corrupt governments and political instability. May God's hand bring leadership that arrests the violent, brings peace, stability, and justice to their communities. May they experience God's powerful presence, bringing mercy for the grieving and healing for the wounded.  Pray for help and support from the Body of Christ to arrive without delays. https://cbn.com/news/world/christian-massacres-jordan-ethiopia-underscore-urgency-day-prayer-persecuted

 

For Local Food Banks and Families Facing Food Insecurity: As Thanksgiving approaches and we reflect on God's blessings, let's remember families struggling to put food on the table. We especially want to pray for Sweet Home Emergency Ministries (SHEM), where the need is growing, and pantry shelves are almost empty. Ask God to provide through our community's kindness and donations. Let's show our gratitude by praying for and giving to our local food banks, and by sharing Christ's love in real, practical ways with neighbors who need help.
 

For the city of Newport, we praise God that no jobs were lost due to the Seafood storage fire! We pray for continued wisdom and blessing for their recovery!

 

For the Linn County Veterans Day Parade Wednesday, November 11th, pray God's blessing on the organizers and participants, for protection and cooperation, and honoring those who've served our country and their families.

Pray God's favor for the completion of Albany's affordable housing projects for homeless vets. Pray patience, provision, and safety for those struggling to pay rent and provide for daily necessities. We pray for their connection with compassionate support, and that they be reached with Christ's love for His peace and hope.

 

MINISTRY HIGHLIGHT: Albany Helping Hands: We give thanks to God for Executive Director Michael Steele and his wife, Elizabeth, and for the staff and volunteers. They need a new roof! Pray God provides funding and quick repairs, as the rain is causing havoc in the kitchen! Pray God's favor, wisdom, and empowerment on each case worker, counselor, and ministry staff. https://www.albanyhelpinghands.org/about-us

 

Mid-Valley Women of Christ: Pray God draws many women to join us November 13 at the Shift for an evening of Praise and Worship! Pray for God's favor and protection over our speaker, Betty Simon; the worship team from Lebanon First Assembly; and our board members as we prepare for a wonderful time together. Pray for God's provision of donations for MVWC so that we can continue to offer these events free of charge. Most importantly, may the Lord Jesus be lifted up and glorified in all that we do!
