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 2
March 25
“Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God.”
— Psalm 20:7
REMINDER: God provided King David chariots and horses to aid his army in times of battle, yet the people of God declared that their trust was in the name of the LORD – not the provision of God. God is generous and gives us good gifts (Matthew 7:11) but we can fall into a trap if we put our trust in those gifts. God tells us to trust in the name of the LORD our God, especially when we are fighting spiritual battles.
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– What are some of the gifts that God has given you that you are most grateful for? Thank Him for those gifts and for the blessings He has given you.
– Ask God to show you anything that you are putting your trust in (examples: your own strength, people’s approval, finances, accomplishments, other people, etc.). Surrender those things to God so that you can trust Him more fully.
– As a church, we are praying for God to help us trust Him for what He has planned to do in and through Kingsland. Ask God to help us trust in His Name alone as we seek Him in prayer.
