Prayer and Fasting as Part of Our Rhythm of Life
On the first Thursday of every month, we will be fasting and praying together for our church and community. Each month will have a different focus area. Below are our current prayer points.
Prayer Points for
December 2024
  • Families - Let's be praying for families as we approach Christmas. Pray for our own families, for wisdom as we come together and grace. But also for families right across our city, especially those in need and going through tough times. That we would see God's joy, peace and reconciliation come.
  • Christmas Events - We have so many events coming up across the life of our church. Why not jump onto the Events page on our website and pray over a few of the events across our sites and ministries. Pray for our staff, volunteers and those who will be attending. That we would have the right people in the room to hear about Jesus and what Christmas is all about.
  • Salvation - And with that in mind let's be praying that we would see people come to know Jesus. That people would hear the truth of Christmas, the hope we have in Christ, the joy and peace that only He can bring and be overwhelmed by the love He has for each and every one of us.
“If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and PRAY and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will HEAL their land.” 2 Chronicles 7:14

"Devote Yourselves to Prayer With an Alert Mind and a Thankful Heart.” Colossians 4:2 (NLT)

Prayer is a powerful tool God gives us to grow our relationship with him and support others. There are many ways we can engage in prayer:

Personal Prayer

All of us long to connect with someone who can identify with our circumstances and share in our day-to-day life. Prayer is just that - a personal experience and intimate connection with our loving Heavenly Father. We would encourage you to establish a regular time that you set aside to talk with God. "The fervent prayer of a righteous person has great power and wonderful results." James 5:16 (NLT)

Prayer Support for Ministries

There are various opportunities for you to get involved in prayer in your Life Group. You can also prayer for needs in our missions work (World Impact), youth and other ministries of CityLife Church. Please refer to the individual ministry pages on our website.

God asks us to pray for each other. If you’d like us to partner with you in a prayer request, simply email prayer@citylife.church. Be assured that someone will join with you in bringing your request before God.

Please also remember to tell us when your prayer has been answered so we can celebrate God's provision by sending in your story.
