Welcome to Our Week of Prayer and Fasting

As we enter this fall season, we are setting aside August 10-14, 2026 as a church family for prayer and fasting. We believe God wants to do so much in us and through us, and throughout Scripture we see that God accomplishes His work through prayer.

This week includes three prayer opportunities:

• DAILY HOUSEHOLD PRAYER GUIDE

Use this website Monday through Friday to pray through Scripture, reflection questions, and prayer prompts with your household.

• MORNING CORPORATE PRAYER

Join us Monday through Thursday from 6:30-7:30 AM in the FLC as we seek the Lord together in prayer.

• UPPER ROOM PRAYER NIGHT

On Friday, August 14, we will gather from 7:00 PM to midnight in the FLC for a night of worship, surrender, communion, fellowship, listening prayer, intercession, and commissioning. Doors open at 6:30 PM.

Registration for the Upper Room Prayer Night is free, but we ask everyone to register so we can prepare well.

REGISTER HERE.

We are grateful for what God has done among us and expectant for what He will continue to do as we journey from glory to glory.

Choose a time that best fits your household’s rhythm. Whether you gather around the dinner table, over breakfast, before bed, or during a quiet evening together, set aside intentional time to seek the Lord together. If you live alone, use this guide as your personal time with the Lord, inviting Him to continue speaking to you throughout the week.

PRAYER RESOURCES

The prayer models listed below are provided as additional tools to deepen your personal and family prayer times. They offer biblical patterns and practical frameworks for connecting with the Lord, helping you learn to pray with confidence, focus, and faith. Use them whenever you want additional guidance, structure, or inspiration in your conversations with God.

• The Lord's Prayer

The Lord’s Prayer is often recited in churches or at religious events, but there’s so much more to this prayer. Jesus provided this model as an outline to teach us how to pray in a way that connects us to God, aligns our priorities with His, and helps us live dependently on Him. This model takes us through each part of The Lord’s Prayer, showing us how to pray the way Jesus instructed.

• Tabernacle Prayer

In the Old Testament, the Tabernacle was the dwelling place of God, built to His specifications, where He would meet with His people, the Israelites. As they entered the Tabernacle, they passed through seven stations, following God’s instructions, to experience His presence. Today, even though we no longer need the physical Tabernacle to meet with God, these same steps can help us connect with Him. This prayer model will take us through each station of the Tabernacle and use the purpose of each station to guide our prayers.

• The Prayer of Jabez

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that You would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let Your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted His request. (1 Chronicles 4:10)

• Warfare Prayers

Prayer is not only communion with God; it is also confrontation with the enemy. When Jesus was on the earth, He came face-to-face with the devil when He was tempted in the wilderness (see Matthew 4 and Luke 4), and every time the enemy tried to tempt Him, Jesus responded with Scripture. He confronted the devil with the Word of God, using the Sword of the Spirit to defend Himself. These spiritual warfare prayers and verses are examples we can use and adapt to our specific situations when we or someone we know is under attack.

• Praying Scripture

When we pray the promises of God, we’re focusing on God’s power and limitless resources rather than the problem or our own limited ability to solve it. Our Heavenly Father is bigger than any situation we’ll encounter, no matter how painful or scary or uncertain it may seem in the moment. Whatever we’re going through, find a verse for the situation and trust God for the result. Pray His promises and trust in His power to be revealed. The Word of God is one of the most valuable tools we have to build a dynamic prayer life.

• Praying for the Lost

God desires for everyone to know Him. As followers of Christ, we are called to partner with Him in praying for those who don’t know Him to come to know Him and accept the free gift of salvation.

FASTING RESOURCES

Fasting is a biblical discipline that deepens our dependence on God and sharpens our spiritual focus as we seek His presence, direction, and breakthrough. These guides offer practical insight into why Christians fast, how to fast safely, and fasting practices you can prayerfully consider. Whether you’re trying fasting for the first time or seeking renewed clarity and spiritual strength, these resources will help you understand the heart and purpose behind this ancient practice as you draw near to God.
