Session 1
Do you hear that?
From 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting Guide
Call to Prayer
The alarm is sounding. It’s time to wake up! The Day of the LORD is coming. The LORD says, “Return to me with all your heart.”
Joel 2 is a wake up call for the people of God. God is calling our church to wake up today!
As you read, pray, and fast today, may your heart be filled with thoughts of Jesus. May you see the Father as gracious and merciful, slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love. May you mourn with godly sorrow any area of your life not fully surrendered to Him. May you be aware of His presence and filled with His Spirit.
Today’s Scripture
Joel 2:12-32
Ways to Pray
- Thank God for the good gifts you have been given. Spend some time grieving with God over the condition of our country. Mourn the disunity, racism, and disease we see.
- Pray that our church would be desperate for a move of God. Pray that God would pour out His Spirit in a powerful way.
- Pray that our reading, praying, and fasting will stir urgency among God’s people.
