30 day prayer challenge
based on Luke 11:1-13
A prayer a day, Monday through Friday, for six weeks. Each week builds on what we preached: knowing God as Father, then learning to Ask, Seek, and Know, then landing on the best gift He gives - the Holy Spirit - and how to keep praying even when the answer is a "no" for now.
Take just a few minutes each day. Read the verse, sit with the prompt, then pray.
Week 5
"When the Answer is No"
Monday
Read: James 4:3
Pray: Ask God to examine your motives on something you've been requesting. Ask Him to align your wants with His will.
Tuesday
Read: 2 Corinthians 12:9
Pray: Bring the "thorn" you're currently carrying to God. Ask Him not necessarily to remove it, but to show you His grace and strength in it.
Wednesday
Read: Romans 8:28
Pray: Thank God for a past "no" you can now see was actually good. Ask Him to help you trust Him the same way with a current unanswered prayer.
Thursday
Read: Isaiah 55:8-9
Pray: Ask God to help you trust His thoughts over yours today, especially regarding something that hasn't gone the way you hoped.
Friday
Read: Psalm 27:14
Pray: Close this challenge by simply waiting on the Lord. Thank Him for being a Father who never sleeps, who hears you, and who is never done answering. Ask Him what's next.
