2021 Prayer Guide (Part 1) - Jennifer Dungey

Hey friends! If you have been following along this year, you know we have been focusing on a theme each month. We’ve read a book to go along with the theme, had a challenge each month, and have been working on growing and learning in each area. Since we are halfway through the year, I thought it’d be a good time to take a look back at the last six months and spend a few days in prayer, reading the Word, and connecting with the Lord. This will cover 6 days, one theme per day. Each day there be scripture to read, a prayer prompt, and an action to take steps to grow in that area – gratitude, marriage, Easter, believe, identity, and fun. There is no time limit or set schedule but just a tool to help continue in these areas 🙂

Each day is listed below and there is also a printable to download HERE.

Day 1: Gratitude

Read: Psalm 136:1-2; Psalm 118:1

Pray: Pray for open eyes to see the blessings in your life. Thank God for these blessings.

Do: Write down 10 things you are grateful for in your gratitude journal.

Day 2: Marriage

Read: Ephesians 4:32; Psalm 34:3

Pray: Thank God for your spouse and pray for your spouse throughout the day.

Do: Show love to your husband today. Whether it’s sending him a quick text, doing a chore for him you know he hates doing, or scheduling a date night show him you are thinking of him with love.

Day 3: Easter

Read: Ephesians 2:8-9; 1 Corinthians 11:23-34

Pray: As believers, we know that Easter and the resurrection should affect the way we live everyday. Pray for opportunities to live out the gospel.

Do: Right down your testimony. Look for an opportunity to share your testimony (and the gospel) with someone today and share as you feel led.

Day 4: Believe

Read: John 8:31-32; 1 Corinthians 15

Pray: Pray for open eyes and an open heart to His truth. Pray for discernment as you scroll through social media or listen to Christian podcasts, sermons, etc.

Do: Write down one thing you believe to be true about God. Write it down in your notes on your phone or on a notecard and look at it throughout the day.

Day 5: Identity

Read: John 15:5; Ephesians 2:10

Pray: Thank God that He is enough and that your identity can be found in Him. If there is an area of life where you feel particularly weak, pray that He would be strength and grace in this area.

Do: Choose a verse from today’s reading and memorize it.

Day 6: Fun

Read: Ephesians 3:20; Psalm 34:8

Pray: Thank God for the gift of fun. Pray to have open eyes to see His providence and hand in your life.

Do: Do something you enjoy today. If there is something new you’ve been wanting to try, try it!
