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…
Pray that we will be a broken and repentant people before the Lord. Ask God to give us the gift of tears as a sign that He is softening our hearts. Pray that as the people of God, we will learn what it means to seek Him with all of our hearts and walk in His ways (Psalm 119:2). Pray that we will be filled with such passion for Him, that we will seek Him, His kingdom and His righteousness – first (Matthew 6:33). Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal to us, the ways and the things that we seek first instead of Him, that keep us from truly drawing near to God.
Father, may we as Your people, be those who are willing to go out into ‘deeper waters’ with You. I pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ, and I ask for myself, Lord, keep us from standing on the shore and passively listening and watching. May we enter into the life of Spirit and the work of Your kingdom (Luke 5:1-11)!
Father, I ask that You give to us as Your people, the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that we might know You better! Open the eyes of our hearts, Father (Ephesians 1:17-18)! (Pray this for those you know at ECB by name)
