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.
O God, renew the way we think. Destroy worldly philosophies and standards that we’ve adopted as truth, instead of the standard of Your Word. Transform us from the inside out (Colossians 2:8; Romans 12:1-2)!
I ask Lord, that You give to us ‘godly sorrow’ that brings repentance and leaves no regret. May we no longer make excuses for our sin (‘I was brought-up this way…’ ‘My father was this way…’ ‘I’ve always been an angry person…’). Give us the gift of brokenness, humility and tears before You. Increase our hunger for holiness (2 Corinthians 7:10).
Father, I thank You, that You are our refuge and strength – ever present in every situation. Keep us from fear regardless of what we see around us – may our hearts be steadfast trusting in You (Psalm 46:1-3; 112:7)!
Give to us, I pray, a longing to be still and know that You are God. May we turn off the noise in our lives so that we can better hear Your voice and respond to the promptings of the Holy Spirit (Psalm 46:10).
