Session 1
We are children of light
From 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting Guide
Call to Prayer
In God’s family, we do things differently than the rest of the world. We imitate Jesus, loving others as He loved us. We pursue what is good and right and true.
Ephesians 5:8 calls us children of light. As you pray, ask God to reveal any areas where darkness remains. Let Him lovingly guide you toward the light that now defines you.
As you talk with your Father, may you awaken to His presence and be filled with His Spirit. May you leave this time with music in your heart, gratitude on your tongue, and wisdom for whatever you face.
Today’s Scripture
Ephesians 5:1-21
Ways to Pray
- Reflect on your words and actions in the last 24 hours. Is there any greed, envy, foolish talk, or obscenity you need to repent of?
- What have we been numb to as a church and as individuals? Ask God to wake us up to what He’s doing so we can be part of it.
- Pray for wisdom. Ask God to help us make the most of every opportunity, knowing our days are limited.
