Disciple-makers are people who pray.
Each month, our Prayer Ministry Team offers a specific prayer focus, working under the belief that communal prayer is a powerful and world-changing exercise.
January Prayer Focus
Our Prayer Focus for January is Trusting God in the New Year. With a new year comes the desire to form new habits. In 2026 may we work on forming the habit of trusting God over ourselves! Often, we trust our friends, the bank, the stock market, or the government more than we trust God. God wants us to put Him first in our lives. He wants us to put our confidence and trust in Him, all the time, in everything. In 2026 may we begin to trust Him more!!
Please join us in praying for the following:
1. Trust that God Loves You — 1 John 3:1: "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him."
2. Trust that God has a plan for your life — Psalm 33:11: "But the plans of the Lord stand firm forever, the purposes of his heart through all generations."
3. Trust this is God’s fight & not yours — Deuteronomy 3:22: "Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you.”
4. Trust this is only for a season — Ecclesiastes 3:1-8: "There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under the heavens: a time to be born and a time to die, a time to plant and a time to uproot, a time to kill and a time to heal, a time to tear down and a time to build, a time to weep and a time to laugh, a time to mourn and a time to dance, a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them, a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing, a time to search and a time to give up, a time to keep and a time to throw away, a time to tear and a time to mend, a time to be silent and a time to speak, a time to love and a time to hate, a time for war and a time for peace."
5. Trust that God will make beauty from ashes — Isaiah 61:3: "And provide for those who grieve in Zion—to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise, instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor."
6. Trust that God will strengthen you — Isaiah 41:10: "So, do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand."
