Pray that the Church might keep the Sabbath holy, as a sign between them and the Lord

1. Pray that the Church would not multiply holy days and seasons, but serve Him with gladness in the times of His Scriptural appointment, with her regular Sabbaths, and that the Lord would grant joy and contentment in her Sabbath service to Him, refusing every false way, and loving His Word. (Isaiah 56.7)
2. Pray that God’s saints would prepare themselves, and set the patterns of the week along the lines of a Sabbath cadence, looking forward to meeting with and worshipping the Lord with His people week by week. (Leviticus 23.3)
3. Pray that current perversions of Sabbath keeping would be purged out by proper means of instruction, example, correction, and if necessary, loving discipline, that the people of God would learn to withdraw their foot from the Sabbath Day, and honor Him instead, not taking up their own things, pleasures, or  recreations. (Isaiah 58.13-14)
4. Pray that the Church would take note of the great spiritual benefits that accompany Sabbath-keeping, and desire, jealously, those spiritual advancements  in devotion to the Lord, learning about Him and meditation upon His mercy, deliverance from error and from false gospels, and in serving Him with gladness in everything. (Deuteronomy 15.1-16)
5. Pray that in keeping the Sabbath holy, the people of God would learn that their time is not their own, but that there are set times in which they owe to the Lord His due, explicitly one whole day in seven, and that in this set time they would see that they themselves, and all their times, are given to the Lord in sacrifice. (Romans 12.1-2)
6. Pray that the spiritual riches of Sabbath-keeping would outstrip all earthly desire for money-making, or other earthly benefit, and that spending a day in the  suburbs of heaven” would turn our eyes away from this world in our affection and joy, that we might place a true valuation on heavenly things. (Amos 8.5; Colossians 3.1-4)
7. Pray for a proper understanding of works of necessity and mercy, that these would not be seen as violations, or exceptions to Sabbath keeping, but true expressions of the 4th Commandment, as the Sabbath was made for man, not man for the Sabbath—and that these works would not disproportionately displace proper worship to the Lord. (Luke 6.1-11)
8. Pray for support from civil magistracy in Sabbath keeping in wholesome law. (Nehemiah 13.15-22; Proverbs 14.34)
