28 Days of Prayer // January 12 to February 9

(Full Resources Here)

It’s all too easy to enter a season or year as if it all depends on us.

It partly does – God doesn’t avoid us in accomplishing his mission; He invites our participation.

But it doesn’t fully depend on us either. God's the source, vision, strength, and framework for our everyday lives. In him we live and move and have our being (Acts 17:28)

Countless references in scripture call us to pray like it depends on God (2 Chron. 7:14; Col. 4:2-4; Matthew 6:10, 33; Gal. 6:16, 18, 25).

More than just God accomplishing something, God wants to be with us and to transform us. THIS is the heart behind our praying - relationship and formation.

Jesus called his disciples to be with him (Mark 3:14; John 15) and he demonstrated a posture and practice of being with his Father.

David, Israel’s king described as one after God’s own heart, demonstrated this hunger when he prayed in the middle of a battle raging around him:

One thing I ask from the Lord,
this only do I seek:
that I may dwell in the house of the Lord
all the days of my life,
to gaze on the beauty of the Lord
and to seek him in his temple.
(Psalm 27:4)

Will you carve out the next 28 DAYS for contemplation, prayer, and intercession?

- To dwell in God’s presence and behold his beauty?

- To stand with each other and the world around us in prayer?

- To intercede for friends and family still not in relationship with Jesus?

- To see revival in our city and communities?

- To sustain our ministry teams and leaders?

- To develop a joyful inner hunger for the presence of God?

The following document provides suggested daily and weekly practices, scripture, resources, and prayer groups to help us engage in these 28 days of prayer together!
