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
October 2024
  • Pray that we will align ourselves with God’s vision for His Kingdom as fervent followers of Christ who will reach out and impact our communities, cities and nations. And he (Jesus) said to them, “Go into all the world and proclaim the gospel to the whole creation”
      Mark 16:15

  • Pray for God’s Spirit to shape us through the teaching of His Word. “For the Word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any two-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing the soul and of spirit, joints and of marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart”
      Hebrews 4:12

  • Pray that as followers of Christ we will continue to be firm in our faith so that our love for God will not grow cold “Be alert, be on watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour. Be firm in your faith and resist him because you know that other believers in all the world are going through the same kind of sufferings”.
      1 Peter 5:8-9

“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.

Prayer Requests

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.

Intercessors

Intercessory prayer is the act of praying on behalf of others. If you’d like to find out more about this vital ministry of our church please email us or call 9871 8300.
