40 Days of Prayer
A Guided Journey from Easter to Pentecost
Introduction
Beginning April 15 and continuing through Pentecost Sunday, we are setting aside forty days for intentional prayer. Each day offers a short, guided prayer designed to help you turn your attention to God, align your heart with His will, and grow in your life with Him. This journey follows a simple progression. We begin by turning toward God in worship and surrender. We then reflect on the grace and new life found in Christ. From there, we develop rhythms of prayer, Scripture, and obedience. As the days continue, we focus on inner renewal and transformation, learning to walk in the power and presence of the Holy Spirit. Finally, we move outward in love, witness, and service.
Whether you are beginning your journey with God or seeking to go deeper, these daily prayers are an invitation to slow down, listen, and respond.
