Pray 365
How does it work?
Each person in the church selects a random number between 1 and 31 and commits to pray on that same date every month throughout the year. With everyone involved across all 4 congregations in West Sussex there will be around 10-15 people praying on any given day. When it's your turn to pray, focus your prayer on these three areas as the Holy Spirit leads you throughout the day:
- Pray for the church
- Pray for the lost and those you’re reaching out to
- Pray for the nation
If something comes up where you cannot pray on your allocated day, or you have day 30 or 31 and there are only 28 or 30 days in the particular month we are in, pray on the next day or the one before. The main thing is that we are building a wall of prayer together in the spirit continuously throughout the year.
Alongside the prayer, we want to encourage everyone who is able, to fast at least one meal on the day you pray every month. Fasting is part of building strength and spiritual resilience in our prayer life and God has called us to strong, persistent prayer that doesn’t back down when challenges and opposition comes - the first opposition is usually our flesh!
As we cultivate this lifestyle of prayer and fasting throughout the year we’re going to see victory after victory, answer after answer, breakthrough after breakthrough in Jesus’ name, and be able to encourage one another with all that God is doing when we gather on Sundays and at other times.
Below you’ll find some pointers and Scriptures for each of the 3 areas we’ll be focussing on in prayer, but the important thing is to be led by the Holy Spirit and pray what He’s showing you with faith and expectation in the One for whom nothing is impossible!
How do I get involved?
Pick up a Pray 365 card with a number on it from the Info Point in your congregation and if you’d like to let us know which day of each month you will be praying on, please do so by filling in the form at the bottom of this page. We can also send you a reminder email each month with the prayer pointers and any recent answers to prayer if you’d like.
