Summit Prayer

21 Days of Fasting & Prayer

Jesus said we’re to be known as a house of prayer. Are we?

As we turn the corner and begin a new year, our dependence on God seems as obvious as ever. In new ways, we feel the reality of Jesus’ words “… apart from me you can do nothing.” (John 15:5 ESV) We as a church, and as individuals, can do nothing apart from God’s work.

For that reason, we want to start the year by having our church family come together for 21 days of fasting and prayer. Our hope is for this experience to anchor us to our purpose as the people of God at The Summit Church.

Today's Prayer Prompt

January 19

Read Psalm 37:4

“Take delight in the LORD, and he will give you the desires of your heart.”

Pray

Pray that we would find our delight and joy in God. Ask him to satisfy us and teach us to be content in him. Pray that your heart would be drawn to him more than anything else. Pray that, at the Summit, we would be passionate worshipers of God, demonstrating our delight in him by our service and our giving.
