Today's Passage: Ephesians 3:14-19 

14 For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, 15 from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, 16 that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, 17 so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, 19 and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.

Today's Prayer: 

Spirit, would you move upon our hearts, even now in this moment. Would you allow each of us to experience your goodness and your affection in a deeper way - one that goes beyond mere information. Let us know the length, the width, the depth, and the height of the love of Christ. Would you unlock our hearts, free us from shame, and fill us with all the fullness of God.

Today's Passage: Ephesians 5:13-14 and Romans 8:6.

For to set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. - Romans 8:6 

Today's Prayer: 

Lord make us white-hot for the Gospel, Your Kingdom, Your work, and Your love. Help us to love the people of this world, but not to love the things of this world too much. Lord, wake us up from any slumber that gets in the way of being desperate for you. Amen

Today's Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:5-9. 

And [the Lord] said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a low whisper.

Today's Prayer: 

Lord, I pray that you would give us the ability to notice how your Holy Spirit is moving in our lives in this season of prayer and fasting. Help us to understand our circumstances through the lens of your truth and interpret our present experience in light of your eternal perspective. Allow our longings to lead us into deeper relationship with you and each other. Give us grace to love and serve you, now and forever. Amen.

Today's Passage: 1 Kings 19:11-12

And [the Lord] said, “Go out and stand on the mount before the Lord.” And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore the mountains and broke in pieces the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind, an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake, a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. And after the fire, the sound of a low whisper.

Today's Prayer: 

Lord, thank you for the gift of your Holy Spirit who comforts and guides us. Lord, I confess that I often expect dramatics when anticipating your voice and can overlook the quiet ways you speak to me. Forgive us for the times we let noise, distractions, and fear drown out Your voice. I ask that you continue to teach us to discern Your voice amidst the noise of life. Help us to quiet our hearts and listen for the still, small whisper of your Holy Spirit. In Jesus’ name, we pray. Amen.

Today's Passage: 2 Corinthians 3: 17-18

17 Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. 18 And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit.

Today's Prayer: 
Holy Spirit, we pray today that you would remind us that you are the very freedom that we thirst and hunger for. Through you, we are reminded of who we are – who we belong to – and the truth about us.

We are free. Having been rescued out of the obligation and slavery and consequence of sin.

And you, Holy Spirit, are changing us. Day by day. Degree by degree. Moving us towards glory until we are fully home with you.

We offer you the places that we do not feel free, God. The places that we feel stuck. Or sideways. Polluted or perplexed. The places we feel fake or like an imposter. Take all of these and do that thing you always do where you remind us again of your mercy and grace. And help us to recall, today, that our freedom was a gift that was offered to you in great delight. You saw us at our very worst and moved into rescue us. May our life be lived in the freedom and truth of that great love. To you be the Glory, God. We pray this through the power of your very present Spirit. Amen.

Thank you God for being our Source of Hope and ready to fill us with joy when there seems to be anything but joy. Thank you for peace in the midst of chaos. Thank you for the gift of the Holy Spirit, which is powerfully working within us so we may overflow with Hope! We believe and hold tightly to this Truth today! In your name we pray AMEN!

Today's Passage: Genesis 1:1-3 

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.

Today's Prayer: 
Jesus, In the beginning, You spoke, and from the void, You brought forth all that is. From the formless, You shaped the heavens and the earth,  Calling forth light from the darkness, and filling the deep with Your presence.

Jesus, today we confess that we too, at times, are formless and void,  Lost in the darkness of confusion, fear, and doubt.  Yet even now, Your Spirit hovers near, Ready to bring light into the deepest parts. Would you speak, Jesus, that we might hear.    

In the strong name of Jesus, Amen.

Today's Passage: John 14: 25-27

These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.

Today's Prayer: 
Oh Lord, we love you. 

We acknowledge that you are the same yesterday and today and forever. Our circumstances cannot and will not change you or surprise you. 

We praise you for your spirit that has been poured out on us. 

We confess that we forget you and we need your Spirit to help us remember you in all things. 

As we pray and fast today, remind us of your words & the ways in which you have taught us. Fill us with hope knowing that you will never leave us or forsake us and you will continue to teach us as we walk along. 

Give us peace where we feel hopeless or afraid or restless. 

Give us joy where there is sadness or longing. 

Help us to look to you in all things & for all things. 

We love you.

Amen.

Today's Passage: 

Acts 2: 38-39

And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.

John 14: 25-26 

These things I have spoken to you while I am still with you. But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you.

Today's Prayer: Dear God, thank you for the gift of your spirit. We are in awe of how your plan from the very beginning was to lavish us in kindness, love, mercy, and grace. We praise you for equipping us with the very spirit that raised Jesus from the dead, and we ask that you help us to believe and trust in that power. Would your spirit call to our remembrance your truth as we engage with the practice of fasting. You are the bread of life. May we find deep comfort in knowing you, far beyond what physical sustenance can provide. We ask for the same renewal of spirit that was sought in Psalm 51. Thank you for the scriptures and how they give us such deep insight into your heart and our purpose. Give us a craving to know you more through your word, and engrave what we learn on our hearts that we may echo the heavens that declare your glory. We love you, and we ask these things in confidence- not in our abilities- but in your everlasting love, power, and glory. Amen
