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, January 27 through Friday, January 31.

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.

• Wisdom, grace, and favor as we move to a new worship location this summer
• Momentum and unity for our church going into our move and the changes it will bring
• An outpouring of God’s grace and salvation in Raleigh and surrounding towns for those far from him
• Personal confession of sin
• Salvation for one person in your life who does not currently know Jesus
