Go Beyond At Home
28-Week Prayer Guide
Church Family,
Thank you for joining me on the journey of 28 weeks of prayer as we seek to “Go Beyond at Home” here at Kingsland.
This is an incredible time in the life of Kingsland as we seek God through 28 weeks of intentional, guided prayer, asking Him to move in our hearts, home, church and beyond.
Our Pastoral Staff are writing specific prayers each week to lead us into a deeper dependence on God. Our prayer is that God will do a work in our hearts through these 28 Weeks of Prayer and prepare us, help us understand His vision for Kingsland, and do what only He can do through the people of Kingsland!
Blessings,
Pastor Ryan
NOTE:
The focus for Week 4 of our 28 Weeks is about trusting the LORD. If we think about it, there are probably times that we struggle with trusting the LORD, and there are probably areas of our lives that are easier to trust God than other areas. Trusting the LORD is about our relationship with God and that means that God will help us trust Him.
One of most powerful ways God helps us deepen our trust in Him is through reading and mediating on Scripture. To begin our 4th week of prayer, let’s ask God to grow our trust in Him as we read the following verses and reflect on His faithfulness!
Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good. His faithful love endures forever (Psalm 136:1).
My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth (Psalm 121:2).
The LORD is the one who will go before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or abandon you. Do not be afraid or discouraged (Deuteronomy 31:8).
God’s love was revealed among us in this way: God sent his one and only Son into the world so that we might live through him. Love consists in this: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the atoning sacrifice for our sins (1 John 4:9-10).
Blessed is the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavens in Christ (Ephesians 1: 3).
Week 4
Day 1
March 24
“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not rely on your own understanding; in all your ways know him, and he will make your paths straight.”
— Proverbs 3:5-6
REMINDER: Once again, God is speaking about our hearts and telling us to trust Him with all our heart. God tells us not to depend on ourselves but to know Him. Knowing God intimately is what we desperately need so that we can trust Him with all our heart. God promises that as we choose to depend on Him and seek to know Him that that He will make our path straight.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Thank God for some of the ways He has helped you trust Him.
– Is there something in your life that you need to fully surrender to God? Perhaps something that has been extremely difficult for you to trust God with? Take a few minutes in prayer and ask God to help you trust Him. Ask God to help you to surrender what you are carrying to Him.
– Is there a specific need that you have at work or in your family where you need God’s direction? Pray for the areas of your life where you need direction and then ask God to help you trust that He will direct you!
– Ask God to help you recognize when you are not trusting Him and are depending on your own understanding.
