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…
Strengthen us in prayer, Father. Teach us by the Spirit, how to pray and never give up.
I pray that no unwholesome talk would be heard among us, but only what is helpful for building each other up. May our relationships be marked by forgiveness (Ephesians 4:29-32)!
Forgive us, for the ways that we have trusted in other things, and looked in other places for comfort and security (relationships, job security, finances, governments) rather than trusting in You (Psalm 20:7) (Pause and be still before the Holy Spirit. Ask Him to reveal the places in your life where you are depending on something other than God, confess these to Jesus).
Father, we agree with Your Word – the earth is Yours, everything in it belongs to You – the world and all who live in it! You are Lord of all! Help us to live our lives in light of this truth (Psalm 24:1) (Pause and consider what this might look like in your daily living. Pray for your brothers and sisters in Christ at ECB that they will more readily bow to the Lordship of Jesus).
