21 Days of Prayer Journey
Prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given us. Through prayer we are invited into the very presence of God—not as strangers or servants, but as beloved children who call Him “Father.” Over the next 21 days, we will walk together as a church family, learning to seek God, know God, and experience God through prayer.
Each day you will find a short Scripture, a simple devotional thought, and a prayer prompt to guide your time with God. Some days your prayers may be full of words, and other days you may sit in silence before Him. Both are prayer. The goal is not perfection, but presence—the presence of God with you through Christ, and your presence before Him in love and trust.
As you begin this journey, ask the Lord to awaken in you a fresh desire for Him. Remember: prayer is not something you have to achieve. It is a gift already given to you in Jesus, who prays for you and with you. May these 21 days be a time of renewal, joy, and deep communion with the One who loves you.
