Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Spirit-led community
This week we will be focusing on spirit-led community, one of Kingsland’s core values. Here at Kingsland, we value authentic community that extends out of our personal relationship with Jesus, and the Spirit-filled life to which we are called. We realize that true community happens naturally when we are fully, mutually dependent on the Lord. Bearing one another’s burdens, edification, mutual intercession, and corporate worship are the tools God uses to connect our hearts. Most importantly, we acknowledge that the most foundational purpose for our worship is that God is worthy to be sought by His People.

“Two are better than one because they have a good reward for their efforts. For if either falls, his companion can lift him up; but pity the one who falls without another to lift him up. Also, if two lie down together, they can keep warm; but how can one person alone keep warm? And if someone overpowers one person, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not easily broken.“
— Ecclesiastes 4:9-12
REMINDER: In his pursuit of wisdom and learning, Solomon discovers that few things in life hold more value or enduring satisfaction than true friendship. He reflects on the importance of companionship and the benefits of people working together. We need Christian friends for emotional, practical, and spiritual support through life’s hardships. If we nurture relationships with other believers, we will always have someone to help us stay on track and lift us back up when we fall. God’s people are not meant to live in isolation but walk this road together. When Solomon said, “Two are better than one,” he acknowledged that true, godly friends are a comfort in need, a help in trouble, a companion in toil, and a protective guard against danger.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Ask for God to bring you into a community where you can find true godly friends.
– Pray for those in our midst who may not have community or are searching for a community and that they take the steps to find one.
– Invite the Lord to show you new ways you might nurture current relationships.
– Ask God to give you His eyes to see those who may need comfort, help or protection.
