In 2025, we pray for God to awaken our hearts for his mission. This January 5th–26th, in addition to regular times of prayer throughout the week, month, and year, Metro Life Church will focus on 21 Days of Prayer.
We will also have a week of fasting from January 20th–26th. As we fully submit to God in prayer together, he will display his person and power remarkably to advance the gospel so more can love, grow, and share Jesus in Casselberry, throughout the central Florida region, around our nation, and across the globe.
Our 21 Days of Prayer and Week of Fasting will culminate in a Night of Worship on Friday, January 24th.
Week of January 5th-11th: The Savior of the Lost
“Today salvation has come to this house,” Jesus told him, “because he too is a son of Abraham. For the Son of Man has come to seek and to save the lost.” (Luke 19:9-10)
PRAY: “Lord, we know you can bring salvation today. You came to seek and save the lost. So, Jesus, it is no stretch to ask you to convert the lost. Save students, save our neighbors, save our families. Save these specific people, Lord…”
As we approach this dedicated season of corporate prayer, we will have a weekly theme for our prayers.
This is intended to allow us as a congregation to all pray around the same themes in our devotional time, community groups, and corporate gatherings.
Rather than feeling behind or overwhelmed, we will also focus on ONE DAY AT A TIME rather than all twenty-one days.
This approach derives from what the psalmist rejoices in, as captured in Psalm 84:10-12.
Psalm 84:10–12
[10] For a day in your courts is better
than a thousand elsewhere.
I would rather be a doorkeeper in the house of my God
than dwell in the tents of wickedness.
[11] For the LORD God is a sun and shield;
the LORD bestows favor and honor.
No good thing does he withhold
from those who walk uprightly.
[12] O LORD of hosts,
blessed is the one who trusts in you!
As I've been praying about the theme that God would have us focus on in our 21 Days of Prayer and Week of Fasting in 2025, God has laid it on my heart to pray in a specific way. We will pray for those in our families, workplaces, campuses, and surrounding communities to believe in Jesus Christ. Not only would others respond to the grace of God through faith, but God would use each of us as a part of his kingdom's work.
May God draw us closer to his heart for the lost through prayer, evangelism, and discipleship. May we have opportunities to have conversations that lead to conversion. From lost to found, darkness to light. What a privilege and great calling to participate in God's kingdom's expansion.
Church, we are praying for conversions!
