Session 1

The encounter we need

From 40 Days of Prayer and Fasting Guide

Call to Prayer

Isaiah 6 begins by grounding us in a particular time and place in history: “In the year that King Uzziah died…”.

The death of a king was significant; it meant massive change politically, socially, and economically. And yet in the middle of unrest and uncertainty, Isaiah has the encounter we all need — Isaiah sees the Lord. 

Today, as you read, fast, and pray, may you be blessed by an encounter with God. May you experience the Lord, seated on this throne, in total control over everything. May your encounter with God cause you to see yourself in a new way. May you say yes to being sent to live a life on mission. 

Today’s Scripture 

Isaiah 6:1-8

Ways to Pray 

  • Ask the Holy Spirit to help you experience God in a fresh way this morning.
  • Invite God to show you how He wants you to bring his kingdom to earth.
  • Say yes to whatever God wants you to do.
