40 Days of Prayer Introduction

Welcome to our third year of the Alliance’s 40 Days of Prayer! This prayer guide features daily devotionals and prayer prompts designed to lead you into the presence of God, cry out to Him in prayer, and listen for His still, small voice. This year’s prayer emphasis will focus on the various aspects of the Lord’s Prayer. The aim of this 40-day focus is to fix our gaze on Jesus; remember who He is, what He has done, what He has given us to do, and what He asks of the Father on behalf of those who call on His name. “Then you will call on me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you.” –Jeremiah 29:12 As we anticipate how the Lord will fulfill His promise to His people during this year’s 40 Days of Prayer, we believe there is power in praying together. Let’s step into this prayer experience with the anticipation that we will encounter the living God and fix our eyes upon Him. Let’s pray with faith-filled expectancy that the Spirit of God will do great things in, among, and through us to the glory of Jesus Christ. Keep the faith!
