5 Days of Prayer and Fasting

Once a quarter at New City Church we take part in 5 days of prayer and fasting. This simple rhythm allows us to refocus our hearts and minds on Christ and encourages us to lean on Him for our needs. Our next 5 days of prayer and fasting will take place on Monday, October 14 through Friday, October 18.

During this time, we encourage you to do a dietary fast, and here are a couple of ways you could do that:

• A couple of 24-hour fasts during the week
• Fasting from a meal or two a day
• Fasting from a dietary group for the week
• Any combination of the above

As you participate in the fast, here is what we encourage you to pray for. Of course, you can add anything else to this list.

• God’s presence and power to be poured out on our church
• Recovery efforts in Western NC and the local churches serving that area
• An outpouring of God’s grace and salvation in Raleigh an surrounding towns for those far from him
• Personal confession on sin
• God, if there’s more, I want it
