Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Church Family,
Thank you to the many who have joined me on the journey of 28 weeks of prayer as we seek to “Go Beyond at Home” here at Kingsland. If you’re just getting started, that’s okay! I’m honored that you’ve joined us. Pastor Eric Conley and I preached this past Sunday on dependent prayer and fasting. The very act of prayer is one of dependence, and effective prayers are those in which we acknowledge the majesty and power of God alongside our own need for Him to move.
Adult Discipleship Minister and Prayer Coordinator Susan Sowell has been gracious to write our prayers for this week. Thank you, Susan! Let’s look to God as we acknowledge our dependence on Him.
Blessings,
Pastor Ryan
NOTE: You will seek me and find me when you search for me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13)
Prayer and Fasting is an invitation from God to seek Him more deeply. But what if we don’t have a desire to seek God through prayer and fasting? What if we don’t feel close to God and the idea of prayer and fasting feels like a difficult task? There is great news for those of us who need help with prayer and fasting. God is passionate for us to know Him and walk in an intimate relationship with Him, so He will give us a desire to seek Him through prayer and fasting. We simply need to ask Him to help us seek Him with all our heart and give us a desire to know Him more deeply. God will do a powerful work in our hearts as we continually respond to His invitation to seek Him through prayer and fasting. He will work in our hearts in ways that will transform us and our homes, because we will experience a deeper, more intimate relationship with Him.

“Now if any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God – who gives generously and ungrudgingly– and it will be given to him.”
— James 1:5
REMINDER: God invites us to seek Him for wisdom and He promises to generously give us wisdom – when we ask for it. This is another example of God telling us to depend on Him and not try to figure out life on our own. Our Father’s heart is to bless us with His wisdom.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Are you seeking God’s wisdom and/or direction through this time of prayer and fasting? If not, are there some specific areas in your life where God may want you to seek His wisdom? Spend a few moments in prayer, asking God for wisdom in specific areas of your life.
– Pray for wisdom in your relationship with God. Ask God to give you wisdom to know Him, hear Him, and receive from Him as you follow Him.
– As a church, we need God’s wisdom in every area of ministry and in every area of leadership. Pray for God to give the Kingsland staff and leadership wisdom. Pray specifically for wisdom regarding what God has planned for Kingsland and going beyond.
