14 days dedicated to prayer, worship and fasting: January 21- February 4th
We are thrilled to once again announce our collaboration with Church of the Rock and Anchor Point Church for a transformative 14-day journey of prayer and fasting. Over this period, we will come together for three distinct prayer events designed to cultivate unity among our churches and to pray for the transformation of our communities.
“Prayer is the natural outgushing of a soul in communion with Jesus. Just as the leaf and the fruit will come out of the vine-branch without any conscious effort on the part of the branch, but simply because of its living union with the stem, so prayer buds, and blossoms, and fruits out of souls abiding in Jesus.”
– Charles Spurgeon, Encouraged to Pray: Classic Sermons on Prayer –
Something truly amazing takes place when we put aside our regularly scheduled programming to engage with God directly, to bring a pause to our busyness, and embrace time to connect with our Lord and His powerful love.
As a church, we need space with God so that He can pour down more of His presence over our lives and those around us.
ENGAGE IN INTENTIONAL PRAYER
We encourage you to carve out time each day for intentional prayer. It’s important to keep notes which can be as simple as using some (or all) of the following prompts:
Praise God. List what you are grateful for today.
Write out your specific needs and requests.
Ask God for help and guidance on all the decisions you need to make this week, even list them.
List and Pray over those in your life who you want to grow closer to God and/or discover Him.
Invite God to examine your life. Spend time in confession and repentance (1 John 1:9; Romans 8:1)
PRAYER RESOURCES
"I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus."
Philippians 1:3-6
"And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless for the day of Christ, filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God."
Philippians 1:9-10
