EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2020
Day 3: Praying for Fruit of Joy
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law. And those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the flesh with its passions and desires. If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit." - Galatians 5:22-25 ESV
Let's "Pray for Good" to show up in our lives and in the lives of those around us. While still reflecting on the beauty of Christmas, I remember how the angel told the shepherds that Christ's birth was "good news of great joy that will be for all the people" (Luke 2:10).
I think of how important joy is for us. If your days are lacking a sense of joy, pray and read about how Jesus' birth and ministry really transformed people with joy. Remember with joy that Jesus entered into the brokenness - He knows what we face and what we need. When you have joy, everything is bearable about life in this fallen world. We believe with joy that God intends good for us. Joy comes because God has come to us and has not forsaken us. Joy is found in God's love and grace for us.
Pray for God to give you joy in the truth that Jesus came to minister to us. And pray for two (2) others at EACF. Remember to write down the names of those for whom you prayed. You can encourage them and send them a message saying you prayed for them today. As we do this, God will work powerfully through our group, bringing us closer together and closer to Him.
This is day 3 as we "Pray for Good." Enjoy God's joy today!
