EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 4: For love for non-Christians
Today we pray for everyone around us. Christians are sometimes seen as separatists and judgmental. Let's pray for God to give us His heart for all those around us, that we might see the spiritual needs of our neighbors, co-workers, friends, and others. Pray that we would grasp how the same grace that God has shown us is the same grace we relay to those around us, that Christ would be made known.
"but God shows his love for us in that while we were still sinners, Christ died for us." - Romans 5:8 ESV
"First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth." - 1 Timothy 2:1-4 ESV

40 Days of Prayer: Day 3
EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 3: For love for our church family
Today we thank God and praise God for giving us a church family. Pray for God to give us love for one another in our church family, that we would be willing to serve one another and show grace to one another, even when it is hard to do so. Pray for us to be real with one another, and to value transparency that we can really know one another and really love one another by God's grace.
"Love one another with brotherly affection. Outdo one another in showing honor." - Romans 12:10 ESV
"Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, since love covers a multitude of sins. Show hospitality to one another without grumbling. As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God's varied grace." - 1 Peter 4:8-10 ESV

40 Days of Prayer: Day 2
EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 2: To be a people of prayer
Today we ask God to help us learn to rely upon Him through prayer, to become a people who pray throughout the day, having constant communication with God through His Spirit. We walk by faith, not by sight. May we walk in the Spirit.
"If we live by the Spirit, let us also keep in step with the Spirit." - Galatians 5:25 ESV
"In all circumstances take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming darts of the evil one; and take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God, praying at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and supplication. To that end, keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all the saints" - Ephesians 6:16-18 ESV

40 Days of Prayer 2019: Day 1
EACF 40 Days of Prayer 2019
Day 1: To love God, put Him 1st
Today we pray for God to help us to love Him, to put Him first in our lives, and see everything else in our lives through our love for Him first. Pray a hard prayer: ask God to show you where you've compromised and let other interests compete for your love for God. Ask God to help you see, confess, repent, and love. May God bless us individually and as a church.
“‘I know your works, your toil and your patient endurance, and how you cannot bear with those who are evil, but have tested those who call themselves apostles and are not, and found them to be false. I know you are enduring patiently and bearing up for my name's sake, and you have not grown weary. But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first. - Revelation 2:2-4
