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, as I join with my brothers and sisters in fasting today, 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 teardown strongholds and everything that sets itself up against the knowledge of Christ Jesus (Matthew 6:33; 2 Corinthians 10:3-5)!

Father, I pray for those among our community of faith who are experiencing trials of many kinds. Strengthen them, I pray, to persevere and stand firm (Pray for those at ECB who are going through difficult trials).

I ask Father, for fresh outpourings of the Holy Spirit on Your people, that our lives would be marked by brokenness and repentance, submission to Your will, and hunger for holiness and Your Word. Fill us afresh with the Holy Spirit!

Anoint and strengthen our pastors that they might serve with joy and great encouragement by the Holy Spirit.
