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…


As you pray, insert the names of those you know from the ECB faith community.

Father, may we not give the enemy a foothold in our lives by holding onto anger (Ephesians 4:26; 4:2). Set us free from the need to be right. May our relationships be increasingly marked by humility.

Forgive our timidity, Father, and embolden us to be risk-takers for the sake of Your Kingdom (Ephesians 3:30; Hebrews 11:1, 6)!

Father, for those among us who are unsure of the next-step they should take, whether it is job related, or financial or relational – I ask that You instruct and teach my brothers and sisters in the way that they should go. Counsel and watch over them in the midst of uncertainty (Psalm 32:8).

Father, deliver us from lust I pray and purify our hearts until our greatest passion and desire is for You alone (Matthew 5:27-30).

Ask God to renew our minds and replace ungodly thought patterns and memories with His Word. Ask God to reveal the hidden sins among us and purify us by His Spirit.  Make us to be a true house of prayer (Mark 11:17).  As you call us to go deeper in our relationship with you, grow us in prayer, Lord!
