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, capture our hearts again with the mystery and greatness of the work of Christ on the cross for our sins. Destroy all lesser loves and idols in our lives and restore ‘first love passion’ for Jesus in our hearts – Revive us, I pray (Psalm 85:6)!
Remember us, O God, that we are Your people – the people of Your pasture and the flock under Your care. Gather us in Your arms and carry us close to Your heart I pray (Psalm 95:7; Isaiah 40:11). (Pause and pray for those among us who need to receive the embrace of their heavenly Father…)
I pray for those among our faith community who are wrestling through difficulties of all kinds, and ask that You give to them a sign of Your goodness that they might be helped and comforted (Psalm 86:17). (Pause and pray for those you know by name…)
