DAYS OF
PRAYER
Beginning on September 29 and for the following 21 days, as a community connecting through conversations with God, we would like to encourage you individually or in your prayer groups to focus on bringing before the Lord the needs of our nation, our community and more importantly, all believers in Christ.
​
We are seeking UNIFIED HEARTS through UNIFIED PRAYER.
​
2 Chronicles 7:14...if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.
Our land needs healing, so we are presenting these petitions as
common ground for the Lord to hear and respond.
21
21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
will culminate on Saturday, October 19th with a Prayer March on Highway 76 from 3:00-5:00 PM and end with a time of worship in a tent on the Strip in the Beyond the Lens parking lot. We hope you will join together first in private prayer, then in marching prayer, and finally in celebration prayer as this community unites hearts through conversations with the Lord.
PRAYER GUIDE
Day 1 - Sept 29
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
PSALM 33:12 ESV
God promises to bless a nation when we make Him Lord. Pray that we as individual believers would submit to the Lordship of Jesus Christ in our own personal lives. Ask Him to show you what that means for you personally. What have you allowed to take precedence over making Jesus Lord?
DAY 2 - Sept 30
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
PSALM 33:12 ESV
Pray that our nation would recognize the one, true, living God as we live out our responsibility of making Him Lord of our life. Ask the Lord to show you how you can dedicate more of your life to Him and be an example to others.
DAY 3 - Oct 1
RIGHTEOUSNESS
Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
PSALM 33:12 ESV
Does what you say match your actions? Ask the Lord to reveal how you as a believer and the congregation you are part of needs to be more fully committed to living a righteous life. Have you allowed the world to influence your worship? Ask the Lord to reveal that to you.
DAY 4 - Oct 2
REPENTANCE
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
PROVERBS 14:34 NASB
Repentance of sin is deperately needed in our land. Let’s begin in our own hearts, asking the Lord to reveal hidden sins, obvious sins, ignored sins, “permissible” sins. Ask the Lord to help you discern “right” from “almost right.” Take time to confess those hidden sins and ask the Lord to give you the courage and determination to get rid of them.
DAY 5 - Oct 3
REPENTANCE
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.

DAY 6 - Oct 4
REPENTANCE
Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a disgrace to any people.
PROVERBS 14:34 NASB
Repentance of sin is deperately needed in our land. Ask the Lord to convict you quickly, and enable you to hear His voice and respond quickly. As you respond quickly, it is easier to give up those sins so that don’t become imbedded in your life. Ask the Lord to show you those things you have ignored that have caused a wedge between you and Him
DAY 7 - Oct 5
RESISTANCE
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
ISAIAH 59:19-20 KJV
Ask the Lord to show you how to raise the standard against the onslaught of the Enemy in your life. As you recognize the work of the enemy, you can resist him quicker. Ask the God of peace to crush Satan under your feet. (Romans 16:20)

RESISTANCE
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.
ISAIAH 59:19-20 KJV
Ask the Lord to reveal, deliver, convict, and defeat the enemies of our community: drug and alcohol abuse, child trafficking, pornography, spirit of pretense, other known works of the enemy… You are aware of specific areas in our community that the devil is trying to get a foothold. Stand against him and help bring down his defeat on behalf of others.
DAY 9 - Oct 7
RESISTANCE
So shall they fear the name of the LORD from the west, and his glory from the rising of the sun. When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the LORD shall lift up a standard against him.

Pray for wisdom in our vote to resist the Enemy trying to control our nation. Our nation is at a crossroads. Do your part now in praying for the defeat of the enemy in our United States.

REVELATION
Be careful to follow every command I am giving you today, so that you may live and increase and may enter and possess the land the Lord promised on oath to your ancestors. Remember how the Lord your God led you all the way in the wilderness these forty years, to humble and test you in order to know what was in your heart, whether or not you would keep his commands.
DEUTERONOMY 8:1-2 NIV
Tell the Lord today that you would like for Him to reveal quickly what’s in your heart so your wilderness doesn’t last long. Responding quickly can sometimes help you avoid the “field trip” that is required for your learning! Lots of lessons can be learned in the wilderness however. Reflect on some lessons you have already learned, or some you have perhaps forgotten. Ask the Lord to remind you of those lessons.

Ask the Lord to reveal to you ways you need to more accurately seek Him first. Matthew 6:33 says, “ But seek first His kingdom and His righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.” Have you let other people or things become first in your life? Ask the Lord to show you how you need to seek His righteousness first, so He can add to your life all the blessings He has planned for you.
