While participating in the 21 Days of Prayer, we pray that you will dive into what God has planned for your life in 2024. We ask that you not only pray for your personal relationship with God but that you will also seek for His direction for Fellowship Baptist Church. The mission of Fellowship Baptist Church is to exalt Christ, equip families, and embrace our community. During this time of prayer, focus on how God wants you to act out this mission daily. Also pray for the direction of Fellowship Baptist Church and how we can continue to corporately act out this mission.
Each day will have a specific prayer focus for you to pray over that day. Set aside time to meet with the Lord daily through worship, reading and reflecting on scripture, and prayer. Continue to pray about the daily prayer focus throughout your day.
Main scripture focus for this year’s 21 Days of Prayer:
After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. (Matthew 6:9-13 KJV)
