Prayer and Fasting - CityLife Church Melbourne Australia
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
June 2025
  • Continue to pray for our World Impact Team and our Field Partners - We have just finished our World Impact Week and heard many inspiring stories. Our Field Partners need our continual prayer and support throughout the year. Let’s partner with God in what He is doing around the world.
      Ezekiel 47
  • Pray for Unity - As a church we are doing very well in this respect but let us not be complacent. Continue to pray that we will be united around the person of Jesus Christ and His mission for the world. That our dealings with people will reflect the beautiful unity within the Godhead – Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
      Ephesians 4:1-3
  • Pray for Our Families - Pray for unity and love within the family – between husband and wife and parents and children. Pray that we will be slow to anger and quick to forgive. Pray for the Holy Spirit to lead and guide us in all our relationships.

Getting Ready to Fast

These are some great reflections around why prayer and fasting is so profound and powerful. By nature, every one of us is inclined to take the path of least resistance. We want to avoid pain at all costs. We love shortcuts. We tend to avoid disciplines, however God says when we do fast and pray he will reward us.

  • Decide what you are going to fast from. Food, technology, entertainment or something else.
  • Block out a specific time that you will abstain from it so you can pray and seek God.
  • Be consistent. Stay with it. Stick to it.
  • Set a specific period of time.
  • Set a specific objective. What will you like to focus on in prayer during that time.
  • Prepare yourself spiritually. Take time to read the word. Worship. Journal.
