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…


Remind us continually, I pray, that it is not by our own strength or ability or intellect that we prosper and have victory in the many arenas of life – it is in You O God that helps us and enables us to prosper (Psalm 44:5-8)!

Father, I thank You that You are our refuge and strength – ever present in every situation. Keep us from fear regardless of what we see around us, may our hearts be steadfast trusting in You (Psalm 46:1-3; 112:7)!

Give to us, I pray, a longing to be still and know that You are God. May we turn-off the noise in our lives so that we can better hear Your voice and respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit (Psalm 46:10) (Pause and consider the need for quietness in your own life).
