40 Days of Prayer

40 Days of Prayer

What is 40 Days of Prayer?

40 Days of Prayer is a time when we intentionally seek God and trust him to move in a powerful way.

Our aim at Bethesda Church is that prayer will be at the heart of everything we do. Scripture reminds us that all power used by God to effect change in this world begins with prayer. (James 5:16)

So, during the 40 day Lenten season, we invite you to join us in prayer for God’s leading in our lives, our church, and our community. We believe when we come together fully surrendered to God in prayer, He is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine.

What to Do

Beginning March 5, use the 40 day weekly prayers as a guide for your time with God each day. Our prayer guide has been design according to the ACTS prayer model as a framework for our weekly prayers. Modeled after Jesus’ example of prayer in Matthew 6 (referred to as the Lord’s Prayer), the A.C.T.S prayer method is a great tool to help keep you engaged in prayer and communion with our Lord. This acronym highlights four key aspects of Jesus’ teaching on prayer.

What is ACTS?

A: Adoration (Praise God for what and who He is)

C: Confession (Confess your sins and ask to be forgiven)

T: Thanksgiving (Thank God for everything He has done, is doing, and will do in your life)

S: Supplication (Present your request to God)

- Carve out a time each day when you can pray. Pray as you can, when you can, for as long as you can!

- Prayer prompts and prayer actions are offered on the calendar to guide you with your time with God. Feel free to use them if they are helpful to you. If not, feel free to pray and respond to God as you feel led.

Mission of the Month

A New Outreach Ministry

Our Mission Focus for April is The New Beginnings Ministry. The New Beginnings Ministry is a ministry to support new outreach mission opportunities in our church and community. This ministry also offers support for existing ministries to expand their programs.

As God raises up new leaders who want to start a new outreach ministry this fund will provide seed money for them. This will enable us to act immediately on the communities needs as they arise.
