40 Fire Prayer Points for the Development of Spiritual Disciplines
Bible Exhortation:
My beloved, do not grow weary in doing good. For in due season we will reap, if we do not give up. Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to everyone, and especially1 to those who are of the household of faith. (Galatians 6:9-10, ESV)2
Bible Confession:
I declare that by God’s grace, I am empowered to cultivate spiritual disciplines that draw me closer to Him. I confess that with His help, I will be diligent in prayer, in studying His Word, in fasting, in giving, and in fellowship with other believers. I will not grow weary, for the joy of the Lord is my strength. (Based on Philippians 4:13 and Nehemiah 8:10)
Bible Verse:
But the goal of our instruction is love that comes from a pure heart and a good conscience and a sincere faith. (1 Timothy 1:5, ESV)
Praise and Worship:
Let’s lift our hearts in praise:
“You are worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for You created all things, and by Your will they exist and were created!” (Revelation 4:11,3 NKJV)
“Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee; holy, holy, holy, merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity!”4 (Based on Revelation 4:8 and the hymn “Holy, Holy, Holy!”)
