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. 
Thank You, Father, that You are with us and You are mighty to save and heal us. I ask that You help us to understand what it truly means that You “take great delight in us”. I pray for my brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus at ECB who have never experienced this in any earthly relationship, and ask that You restore every fatherless heart. This day may they hear the song You sing over them (Zephaniah 3:17).
 
May we increasingly trust in You Lord, in every area of our living, and put our confidence in You alone. May we become like trees planted by water, and never fear when things become difficult. May we always draw from You, our Living Water, and never fail to bear spiritual fruit (Jeremiah 17:7-8; John 7:38).
 
Forgive us, Father, for the ways that we live as if we are ashamed of the Gospel. May Your power, expressed in the Gospel grab hold of our hearts once again and change the way that we live our lives (Romans 1:16)!
 
I ask, Lord, that You fill us, fill me, with a fresh determination to press on, to forget what is behind and strain towards the new things You have for us (Philippians 3:12-13).
