We live in a world that needs awakening. Millions of people do not know Jesus Christ. The church itself needs renewed zeal for the truth, for spiritual growth, and for missions. Scripture reveals how this awakening comes about: by a powerful movement of the Spirit of God. It also tells us that when just two men—Paul and Silas—prayed, the earth itself shook (Acts 16:25–26). So we are dedicating the entire year of 2021 to pray for awakening, and we hope you will, too.
To help as many people as possible, we produced this free prayer guide. Download it today at PrayForAwakening.com, find it in the PrayerMate app, or order the prayer booklet in packs of ten to share with your loved ones.
To use the guide, find the prayer that corresponds to the current week. Each week of the month focuses on a different group to pray for, starting with you and your family and expanding to the world and the global church. You can also share your desire to #PrayForAwakening on social media.
MARCH PRAYER FOCUS:
- Week 1: Pray that you and your family will know the love of Christ and respond in love and obedience to Him. “To know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.” (Eph. 3:19)
- Week 2: Pray that the members of your church will be full of zeal to serve Christ and bear witness to Him in your community. “Do not be slothful in zeal, be fervent in spirit, serve the Lord.” (Rom. 12:11)
- Week 3: Pray that God will send renewal to your nation and turn the hearts of many to Christ. “That times of refreshing may come from the presence of the Lord.” (Acts 3:20)
- Week 4: Pray that the nations and their leaders will fear the name of the Lord and seek His glory, not their own. “Nations will fear the name of the Lord, and all the kings of the earth will fear your glory.” (Ps. 102:15)
- Week 5: Pray that you and your family will submit yourselves to God such that all of you will resist the devil and that he will flee from you. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)
We hope this prayer guide encourages you this year and in future years. Join us in praying fervently for a mighty movement of God’s Spirit today, thankful that He has graciously promised to hear us, and confident that He will answer our prayers according to His will.
