Day 1

Welcome to Day 1 of 21 Days of Prayer for Alpha!

As we approach the start of Alpha, we’re setting aside this time to pray for those who will join us, the conversations that will happen, and the ways God will move. Today’s focus will help guide your prayers as we prepare to create a safe and welcoming space for people to explore life, faith, and purpose.

Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21

For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth is named, that according to the riches of his glory he may grant you to be strengthened with power through his Spirit in your inner being, so that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith—that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may have strength to comprehend with all the saints what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer Prompt: Pray for God to prepare the hearts of those who will be invited to Alpha, that they would be open and ready to experience His love. Pray also for boldness within the church to invite the lost and seeking to Alpha. Pray even for yourself, that God would place people in your path to invite and that you would be obedient. Alpha is a space where people can bring their questions and doubts. Ask God to give our church family compassion and courage to walk alongside those seeking Him.
