Remain in me, as I also remain in you. (John 15:4)

We are calling every Westsider to be diligent in prayer this week. Will you join us?

Carve out 10-15 minutes daily from Monday to Friday as we prepare to come together this Friday night for a church-wide prayer and worship night. Additionally, would you fast one day this week in a concerted intercession for God to lead our church as we move into 2024.

DAILY PRAYER FOCUS:

MONDAY

• sitting with Jesus (John 15:1-4)
• interceding for the well being of our city and neighborhoods, including our local partnerships - WIM, Ricochet, C2C, etc.

TUESDAY

• sitting with Jesus (John 15:5-8)
• interceding for Westside - for our formation in Christ and spiritual hunger, for those who are sick; for our various leadership team and ministries

WEDNESDAY

• sitting with Jesus (John 15:9-11)
• interceding for the next generation; for mental health and fresh spiritual hunger among kids, Youth, and Young Adults; that they discover complete Joy in Jesus

THURSDAY

• sitting with Jesus (John 15:12-17)
• interceding for the kind of love Jesus commands of us to grow in his church around the world; that the world would take notice of an 'alternate way of life and love' from the pockets of the church globally as a witness to what's possible in God's kingdom (Palestine, Israel, Russia, Ukraine, Iran, Pakistan, Africa, China, USA, and Canada).
• FAST DAY: if you're fasting today, pay close attention to the need for peace in various pockets of the world (many jews advocating for peace fast every Thursday for cease fire and reconciliation)

FRIDAY

• sitting with Jesus (John 15:7)
• interceding for tonight's prayer night; that each of us would be available to God's presence and come ready for intimacy with Jesus and intercession with the Spirit.
• see you TONIGHT for PRAYER @ 7PM (youth night still on)
• RSVP for PIZZA DINNER @ 6:15PM

FASTING:

We encourage you to fast and believe God will use it to help you pay more attention to his presence and create time for focused intercession.

If you choose to fast, take extra time to pay attention to God's voice in scripture and your day; listen for ways he is leading you and our church

*if you can't fast for health reasons, do not feel obliged; you can simply take extra time for prayer (and consider fasting from any extra distractions normally in your day like news, social media, and entertainment)
