31 Days of Prayer - January 2021

Friends:  Let’s all go to the Lord in daily prayer as we begin the new year, and let’s build our prayers around God’s amazing promises. Click HERE for a list of promises (or see below), one for each day of January.

Make it your priority to read and meditate on the Bible promise indicated, and then PRAY in response in three ways:

1. For yourself, that your heart would truly rest and take joy in what God is saying.
2. For another Christian, that they’d be at peace and find their hope in God’s Word.
3. For someone who’s not a believer, that they’d be drawn into the worship of Christ, let go of all false securities, and rest in the promises of the Lord.

Especially this year, amidst of all the world’s uncertainties, we need to stand on the foundation of God’s rock-solid promises!
