“I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone—for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness. This is good, and pleases God our Savior, who wants all men to be saved and to come to a knowledge of the truth” – 1 Timothy 2:1-4
God is calling our church to grow deeper in prayer, not just for ourselves but for everyone. This helps us to not only grow in our intimacy with Him but also assists us in our mission to lead others into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.
This year, we want to use this blog to help YOU. We want to encourage your prayer life with God by providing teachings, invitations, prayer request tools and much more.
As we pray together this year, use this model to pray for the salvation of those who don’t yet know their savior.
- PRAY THAT THE FATHER WOULD DRAW THEM TO JESUS:
“No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him” – John 6:44
- BIND THE SPIRIT THAT BLINDS THEIR MINDS:
“The god of this age has blinded the minds of unbelievers, so that they cannot see the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God” – 2 Corinthians 4:4
- LOOSE THE SPIRIT OF ADOPTION:
“For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship. And by him we cry, ‘Abba, Father’” – Romans 8:15
- LOOSE THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM AND REVELATION ON THEM:
“I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better” – Ephesians 1:17
Each week, we will provide different prayer themes with Scriptures selected for each day of the week. Whether you’re praying on your own or with a group, we know these guided prayers will help us all grow closer to Jesus.
- Monday | Personal life
- Tuesday | Financial matters
- Wednesday | Family
- Thursday | Leaders
- Friday | Church
- Saturday | Those we influence at work or school
- Sunday | Those who need God
This Sunday we will kick off our annual 21-day prayer and fast. This can be as simple as fasting coffee, sweets, or even social media for 21-days and using that time to seek a deeper relationship with God. We’ll be right there with you, providing posts each day of the fast. Here’s to a new year and new fire in our prayer lives.
