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. 


Father, I pray for those among us who are seeking asylum. Expedite their case files and give them favour with officials who review their paperwork. Encourage them and fill them with Your peace. Give wisdom, I pray, to the ECB Care Team and teach us by Your Spirit how to bear the burdens of those who suffer among us.

Regardless of difficulties and trials, I ask, Father, that You strengthen us so that we will not fear. Instead, may our confidence in You and Who You are. Increase and be evident in the way we live out our faith in front of those who do not yet know You (Psalm 27:3) (Pause and pray for those you know, by name, who are going through difficulties…).

I ask, Father, that You keep us from worry and fretfulness because of developing world events. May we increasingly be those who trust in You and do what is good – overcoming evil with loving good deeds. May Jesus be lived out through us in this way, I pray (Psalm 37:1, 3; Romans 12:21)!
