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 5
March 28
“How happy is anyone who has put his trust in the LORD and has not turned to the proud or to those who run after lies!”
— Psalm 40:4
REMINDER: As God’s sons and daughters, we are called to trust in the LORD and reject pride and lies. We certainly need God to show us our pride and lies that we believe so that He can set us free. However, we also need to be aware of the pride and lies that are in the world around us and not turn to pride or run after lies. Instead, we choose to put our trust in the LORD and receive His blessings!
TODAY’S PRAYER:
– Ask God to show you any lies that you are believing about trusting Him and to set you free from the lies.
– What are some of the lies that people around us (non-believers) are running after today? Pray for God to give you a heart of compassion for the people believing the lies. Pray for God to save them and set them free.
– Ask God to show you areas of pride in your heart. Take as much time with God as you need to hear from Him and write down what He reveals. Spend time confessing the sin of pride to God and ask Him to forgive you, heal your heart of any shame that is rooted in pride, and to free you of pride.
– Thank God for pursuing your heart and leading you to a more intimate relationship with Him through the 28 weeks of prayer.
