Daily Readings

Day one Prayer Guide
Topic: Less Is More

Key Verse: “Look carefully then how you walk, not as unwise but as wise, making the best use of the time, because the days are evil.” – Ephesians 5:15-16 (ESV)

Food for Thought: “Crowded lives leave little room for the Creator of the universe. We must understand that less is more. We cannot experience more spiritual blessings, more prayer time, more of anything in our spiritual life if we only try to add it to an already full plate.”

Inspiration for the Day: “Come Holy Spirit, I Need You” 

Please remember to send your prayer requests. With your permission, they will be prayed upon not only throughout the “10 Days of Prayer”.

We are looking forward to seeing you at the prayer meeting tonight at 7pm on Zoom.

Day two Prayer Guide Topic: The Danger of Being Busy for God

Key Verse: “The apostles returned to Jesus and told him all that they had done and taught. And he said to them, ‘Come away by yourselves to a desolate place and rest a while.’ For many were coming and going, and they had no leisure even to eat. And they went away in the boat to a desolate place by themselves” – Mark 6:30–32 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “God encourages His children to un-hurry. He knows how quickly we lose sight of Him when our minds are wrapped in a whirlwind of human activities.”

Inspiration for the Day: “Still” – Hillsong United

Day three Prayer Guide

Topic: The Blessing of Waiting

Key verse: “Be still, and know that I am God” – Psalm 46:10 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “While waiting, we often focus on the problems that are unpleasant and hope they will pass away. But waiting does not mean sitting passively, doing nothing, and hoping that an unpleasant situation will somehow disappear. From a biblical perspective, the primary purpose of waiting is to bring to light who I am and who I am becoming while I wait.”

Inspiration for the Day: “While I Wait” – Lincoln Brewster

Please remember to send your prayer requests. With your permission, they will be prayed upon throughout the “10 Days of Prayer”. We are looking forward to seeing you at the prayer meeting tonight at 7pm on Zoom.

Day four Prayer Guide

Topic: The Freedom of a Focused Life of Simplicity

Key verse: “And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you” – Matthew 6:16-18 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “One way of creating space to live a life focused on God is fasting. Fasting means decluttering our minds and lives by deliberately making room for the movement of the Holy Spirit in us and by focusing on God and His Word.”

Inspiration for the Day: “As the Deer” – Maranatha Singers

Please remember to send your prayer requests. With your permission, they will be prayed upon throughout the “10 Days of Prayer”. We are looking forward to seeing you at the prayer meeting tonight at 7pm on Zoom.

Day five Prayer Guide

Topic: Focusing on Things That Matter in Our Prayers

Key verse: “Pray then like this: ‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven’” – Matthew 6:9-10 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “When my prayer requests are not anchored in this loving relationship with Him, they circle more around myself than God and His will. Once I understand that my relationship with God is the centre of prayer, my requests gain a totally new focus. I begin to think and pray from God’s perspective.”

Inspiration for the Day: “You Deserve the Glory” – Terry McAlmon

Please remember to send your prayer requests. With your permission, they will be prayed upon throughout the “10 Days of Prayer”. We are looking forward to seeing you at the prayer meeting tonight at 7pm on Zoom.

Day six Prayer Guide

Topic: Grit, Passion, and Perseverance

Key verse: “And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up” – Gal 6:9 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “What we need today, in our marriages, in our classrooms and dormitories, in our churches and homes, are people who pray. Not just those who talk about prayer, those who say they believe in prayer, or even those who can give nice explanations about prayer. We need people who actually take the time and pray!”

Inspiration for the Day: “Sweet Hour of Prayer”

Key verse: “By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another” – John 13:35 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “The strongest argument in favour of the gospel is a loving and lovable Christian” – (The Ministry of Healing, p. 470).

Topic: Practicing an Attitude of Gratitude

Key verse: “Therefore, since we receive a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us show gratitude, by which we may offer to God an acceptable service with reverence and awe” – Hebrews 12:28 (NASB95).

Food for Thought: “By practicing gratitude, we shift our attention from the imaginary things we don’t have to the real blessings we do enjoy.”

Day nine Prayer Guide

Topic: The Blessing of the Sabbath

Key verse: “If you turn back your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight and the holy day of the Lord honourable; if you honour it, not going your own ways, or seeking your own pleasure, or talking idly; then you shall take delight in the Lord, and I will make you ride on the heights of the earth; I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken” – Isaiah 58:13-14 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “the Sabbath creates a meaningful counterculture that becomes visible in a distinctly different lifestyle. The Sabbath protects us from becoming driven by consumerism. Rather than striving to gain more and more in an endless race for power and dominion, we are invited to pause and honour God and His goodness and grace.”

Inspiration for the Day: “Sabbath Rest” – Queeny of Hearts

Please remember to send your prayer requests. With your permission, they will be prayed upon throughout the “10 Days of Prayer”. We are looking forward to seeing you at the prayer meeting tonight at 7pm on Zoom.

Day ten Prayer Guide

Topic: Be Rich in What Matters – Be More Analog

Key verse: “And let us consider how to stir up one another to love and good works, not neglecting to meet together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day drawing near” – Hebrews 10:24-25 (ESV).

Food for Thought: “Biblical spirituality is analog, not digital. It is based on personal and tangible practices between real people and the living God. Tangible things are by their very nature analog, not virtual. While the God of the Bible is invisible to the human eye, He has called us to practice very specific analog things that express our relationship with Him.”
