The children who will be going out in search of treats.
(Father, I pray that you would put your hand of protection on these little ones who are going door to door, attending parties, or wandering other venues in search of treats. Help drivers and other adults be mindful of these small people.)
Parents of those children for patience as they deal with their sugared up offspring.
(Lord, I ask you to provide an extra measure of grace to parents as they direct their child or children through the night. Protect the adults as they walk, drive, or otherwise accompany their children on dark roads.)
Law enforcement officers who have to deal with unruly party goers or people who take advantage of the expected mayhem Halloween can inspire.
(Please protect police, fire/rescue, and other individuals who may be called out throughout the night to respond to emergencies.)
Churches providing alternative or outreach activities for their community.
(Thank you for brothers and sisters in Christ who are giving of their time, energy, and resources to engage their neighbors, be a blessing, and provide the light of biblical truth. I pray that seeds would be planted and the harvest plentiful.)
Ghost hunters who are holding or participating in special investigations.
Mediums, psychics, spirit channelers.
Dabblers in the occult who are playing with Ouija Boards, pendulums, tarot cards, etc.
People who are serious practitioners of witchcraft.
People who are involved in any form of Satanism.
(Lord, I pray for all those who are involved in some form of the occult–that the truth behind what they are seeking,invoking, or investigating may be revealed to them. Have mercy. Protect them. Show them your grace as revealed in scripture. Draw them to Yourself and salvation through acceptance of Jesus as Lord and repentance of sin.)
Lord, please continue to equip your church– that we would shake off the shackles of fear when confronted with issues or people involving the supernatural or paranormal. I ask that you help us take up the full armor, engage in spiritual warfare, and claim our authority in Christ which You have provided.
And I pray we will step out of our sanctuaries into our communities with the gospel, peace, love, hope, friendship, and Your ever present grace.
"Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done." Philippians 4:6 (NLT)

A few years ago I had the privilege of spending a week on Costa Rica on a mission trip. The highlight of the trip was spent in prayer with my Costa Rican friends. Interpreters had to break the language barrier for us when we ministered to one another or worshiped together. The unity was amazing. It was like a small glimpse of heaven when every tongue, tribe and nation will bow before God.
