Prayer and Fasting for Wednesday 26 January 2022

WEDNESDAY Prayer and Fasting Focus
Wednesdays have been set aside as a day of prayer and fasting for the ministries of ECB and to ask God for a greater outpouring of the Holy Spirit among us. You are invited to join in praying and fasting during one or all meals, or from something that is important to you.  As you pray, remember ECB brothers and sisters that the Holy Spirit brings to mind, by name…


Father, I praise Your holy name, and I confess that the kingdom and the power and the glory are Yours alone! The earth is Yours and all who live in it! – You are the One True God, creator of all things, and I will worship no other. May You alone be worshiped and adored by Your people (2 Chronicles 29:10-13 Isaiah 40:28; Psalm 24:1)!

Surround us with Your favour Lord, and establish the work of our hands for the sake of Your kingdom (Psalm 5:12; 90:17) (Pause and pray for Crosstown Children’s Ministry, EXCHANGE Youth Ministry, Discipleship Ministry. Pray for LIFE Groups, Oasis Women’s Ministry, Adelphoi Men’s Ministry, Care Team Ministry, Prayer Ministry – ask God for spiritual fruit. Pray for those you know by name from ECB who are serving in these areas. Ask God to pour out the Holy Spirit on them and give them ‘kingdom impact’ in their sphere of influence).

I ask that You increase our hunger and thirst for righteousness, for holiness. May we long for You, more than our next meal or earthly pleasure. Strengthen us to press in deeper in prayer that we might become those who tear down strongholds and everything that sets itself up against You, Lord Jesus (Matthew 6:33; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5)!
