Prayer Points for July 2026
Salvation - Pray that God will strengthen our Life Groups, connecting them with new people who need Jesus. Romans 10:9-10 affirms the need to believe and confess, pray that our testimony will point people to Jesus. Pray that God will bring people to the upcoming Alpha courses.
Missions - Psalm 2 says we can ask of God and He will give us the nations, pray for our field partners who are serving so faithfully that God might strengthen them as we continue to pray and give.
God’s provision - Give thanks to the Lord for his provision in every area of CityLife’s operations, including CityLife Community Care. Pray that our giving will be multiplied and his Kingdom expanded.
Getting Ready to Fast
These are some great reflections around why prayer and fasting is so profound and powerful. By nature, every one of us is inclined to take the path of least resistance. We want to avoid pain at all costs. We love shortcuts. We tend to avoid disciplines, however God says when we do fast and pray he will reward us.
- Decide what you are going to fast from. Food, technology, entertainment or something else.
- Block out a specific time that you will abstain from it so you can pray and seek God.
- Be consistent. Stay with it. Stick to it.
- Set a specific period of time.
- Set a specific objective. What will you like to focus on in prayer during that time.
- Prepare yourself spiritually. Take time to read the word. Worship. Journal.
