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…
May we as Your people, not be lacking in zeal, but may our spiritual fervour in serving You increase! Strengthen us I pray, that we might be joyful in hope (pause and pray for those who are waiting on God for answers to prayer…), patient in affliction (pause and pray for those who are experiencing trials of every kind…), and faithful in prayer (Pause and pray that we will increasingly become people of prayer…) (Romans 12:11-12).
Father, I pray for those who come to ECB seeking answers about who You are and what it means to follow Jesus, that they will be drawn by the Holy Spirit to salvation. May each of us extend the welcome of Jesus to those around us, and may Jesus be so seen among us, that many will come to faith in Him. May there be salvation in Your house this Sunday! Open the eyes of the spiritually blind (2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 1:17-18)!
Lord Jesus, be exalted among us as we gather and worship, as we meet in homes, at our places of work, school and play. Be exalted, be glorified in our conversations, in the choices that we make, and the places we go. Whether we eat or drink or whatever it is that we might do. May we always be mindful that we belong to You, and do it all for Your glory (1 Corinthians 10:31)!
