Pray First Prayer Focus

FEBRUARY PRAYER FOCUS — SEEKING A PURE HEART

PERSONAL REFLECTION: "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me" (Psalm 51:10).
  • Perhaps the most important prayer we can pray — create in me a clean heart! From there, we pray less selfishly and more kingdom-focused.
  • This kind of prayer may require lingering a bit longer in His presence to allow Him to sweep through all the places we have hidden from Him and even from ourselves.
  • This kind of prayer prepares us to be on mission for Him.

World Partners: November 2025 Update

See how the Gospel transforms lives—turning enemies into friends—and how missionaries are using simple acts of love to make an extraordinary difference around the world!

Pray with us this week:

  • Ask God to heal the many VJF members struggling with pain, cancer, the side effects of chemotherapy, and other physical and mental health issues.
  • Pray for our pastors as they share the Word. Ask God’s Spirit to move within them, giving them boldness and clarity as they speak. Ultimately, pray that God is glorified through them.
  • Pray for Prime Minister Netanyahu, for God to give him wisdom. Pray for Israeli soldiers as they rightly defend their country. Pray for all those who lost loved ones and those who are still hostages in Gaza. Pray for Israelis to come before the Almighty God and cling to Him to find peace amid turmoil in Jesus the Messiah.
  • For our missionaries, pray for their strength and perseverance to run the race; that the Lord will bring people across their path who would encourage and uplift them.
  • Pray for God’s provision over their family and ministry; for His protection against illness, injury, and danger.
  • Pray that the joy of the Lord will sustain our missionaries in every trial and setback; that the light of God would shine through them, lifting darkness and oppression as they share  His love.
  • Ask the Lord to make fertile ground and prepare hearts to receive the gospel; that He set up divine appointments and open doors for ministry that only He can make possible.
