“But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.”
Matthew 6:20 (NIV)

What kind of things, or riches, do you find yourself running after each day?  Are they “kingdom of God” things or are they things of the world?  Because we live in the world, there are things that we need, but even in our need God wants us to pay close attention to what kind of riches we are seeking.  If we allow Him, God has a way of transforming us through a renewing of our mind so that the things we seek are the things of His kingdom and righteousness.  Pray for greater contentment with godly riches as you trust God to supply  your needs for now and for eternity.  Pray that your recognition of the riches God has supplied would lead you to share those types of riches with others.  Pray that your acceptance of godly riches would help you to keep worldly riches in their proper perspective.

“But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions.”
Ephesians 2:4 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to  help you examine the value you place on the riches of this world compared to the value you place on the things of God.  Pray that you would know true life because of the richness of God’s mercy.  Pray that the life you have in Christ would lead you to be rich in mercy toward others.  Pray that God’s love would be the basis for how you receive and extend His mercy.

“This is what the LORD Almighty says: ‘The fasts of the fourth, fifth, seventh and tenth months will become joyful and glad occasions and happy festivals for Judah. Therefore love truth and peace.’”
Zechariah 8:19 (NIV)

This week we will focus our prayer time on deliberately being hungry through the practice of prayer and fasting.  While there are many who believe fasting is simply an Old Testament practice, we find Jesus giving new instruction about prayer and fasting as He teaches in what we call the Sermon On the Mount.  God’s desire is that our practice of prayer and fasting creates a hunger which brings us closer to Him in ways that He is made more visible through us.  Pray that you would practice humility in all spiritual disciplines as you desire relationship with God over the showmanship of the world.  Pray that fasting, or any spiritual discipline, would be a joy rather than a burden as you deepen your desire for the things of God.  Pray that your growing relationship with Jesus would lead to a greater love of truth and peace.

“While they were worshiping the Lord and fasting, the Holy Spirit said, ‘Set apart for me Barnabas and Saul for the work to which I have called them.’”
Acts 13:2 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you consider the role fasting should have in your relationship with Him.  Pray that you would experience fasting as an act of worship.  Pray for clarity in understanding what God wants to accomplish in your times of fasting.  Pray that you would listen for what God wants you to know and what He wants you to share with others.

Joel 1:14 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you consider the role fasting should have in your relationship with Him.  Pray that you would cry out to God as you ask others to join you in seeking Him.  Pray that you would know the sacredness of coming together with others in fasting to cry out to God.

Isaiah 58:6 (NIV)

As you pray this week, ask God to help you consider the role fasting should have in your relationship with Him.  Pray that you would regularly spend time of “going without” for the purpose of serving others.  Pray that you would always seek God’s purpose to be accomplished through the fasting you do.
