Prayer Points for July 2025
Faithfulness - like Deborah, who led with strength and wisdom, and like Othniel, who led with humility and obedience, pray that we will remain faithful to God and bring honour to His Name in our daily lives. (Judges 4-5; 3:7-11; Ps. 31:23; Ps. 85:10)
Fearlessness - like Jephthah, a man of great courage and faith, and like Gideon, who ultimately found the courage to obey God, pray that we will have a ‘warrior’ spirit that will fiercely trust God in every situation in which we find ourselves. (Judges 6-8; 10:6-12:7; Prov 3:5; Eph 3:20)
Faith in Action - Like Ehud, a clever, courageous and influential leader, and like Samson, who finished strong, pray that we will align ourselves to what God is doing around us, and be known for our deeds as well as our love. (Judges 3:12-30; 13-16; James 2:18)
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and PRAY and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will HEAL their land.”
2 Chronicles 7:14
“Devote Yourselves to Prayer With an Alert Mind and a Thankful Heart.” Colossians 4:2 (NLT)
Prayer is a powerful tool God gives us to grow our relationship with him and support others. There are many ways we can engage in prayer:
Personal Prayer – All of us long to connect with someone who can identify with our circumstances and share in our day-to-day life. Prayer is just that – a personal experience and intimate connection with our loving Heavenly Father. We would encourage you to establish a regular time that you set aside to talk with God. “The fervent prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results.” James 5:16 (NLT)
Prayer Support for Ministries – There are various opportunities for you to get involved in prayer in your Life Group. You can also prayer for needs in our missions work (World Impact), youth and other ministries of CityLife Church. Please refer to the individual ministry pages on our website.
Prayer Requests – God asks us to pray for each other. If you’d like us to partner with you in a prayer request, simply email prayer@citylife.church. Be assured that someone will join with you in bringing your request before God. Please also remember to tell us when your prayer has been answered so we can celebrate God’s provision by sending in your story.
Intercessors – Intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others. If you’d like to find out more about this vital ministry of our church please email us or call 9871 8300.
