Prayers for Alignment
Jan 12: - Today pray that our
vision for moving forward is in alignment with God’s. In Philippians 2:3 it says “Do nothing out of
selfish ambition or vain conceit.” We
don’t want to do our own thing.
13 – Today pray that our
purposes—our intentions, the reasons why we do what we do are in alignment with
God, that we are about God’s redemptive, Kingdom-Building purposes. Pray that it would never be about Bridgeway
but about God!
14 – Today pray that God breaks
our hearts for the things that break His.
Pray that God softens our hearts to feel what He feels.
15 – Pray today that God would
align the leaders of the church with God’s own heart, ensuring that those that
help to chart the course forward are deeply rooted in God’s grace, love, and
purposes.
16 – Today pray that God would
align our hearts with the hearts of those in our communities that already have
a passion to make a difference. Pray
that we wouldn’t compete with other churches and organizations to make a
difference, but that we’d join them.
17 – Pray that God would align
our steps with the Spirit. In Galatians
6 it talks about keeping in step with the Spirit. We want to ensure that our pace, our rhythms,
and our plans never cause us to step before God has called us to step.
Prayers
for Open Eyes
Jan 18 – Pray today that God

to see beyond our own little worlds, our own needs, and our own desires, that
our attention is looking out.
20 – Pray the Lord would help us
to see past all the obstacles that would get in our way, and instead that God

places of entry to affect and change a community. Pray that God would help us as we engage this
vision to be aware of those entry points...always asking the question where is
the need.

Bridgeway would see the gifts and talents God has given each of us to
contribute to the vision.
23 – Pray that we would be given
the faith to believe God is capable of big things and that the obstacles we
face wouldn’t cause us fear but instead be seen as opportunities, to see with
the eyes of faith and not fear
24 – Pray that God would
specifically show YOU where YOU might be involved in the vision of making a
difference in our communities.
Prayers
for Open Hearts
Jan 25 – Pray that God would
purify our hearts from anything that might disrupt, delay, or distract us from
the vision God has for us.
26 – Pray that we have hearts
open to receive each calling, each direction, each step that God calls us
to. That we’d be open to moving
obediently

hearts and bodies ready to respond when God speaks, when God calls us to take
steps of faith.

come from God. Pray that he is the

be freed from the prejudices and insecurities that keep us from stepping out
and making a difference.
30 – Pray for the communities
that God sends us to, that God would grant us favor and the people would be
receptive of us.
31 – Pray that God would give us
courageous hearts, hearts eager to say YES, hearts ready to join God in
whatever He plans to do!
Feb 1 – Pray that God would grant us a willingness to
discover the gifts He has given each of us for the unique impact that we can
make in the Vision. Pray that we’d not
allow our “Can’t do” to affect God’s “I’m calling you!”
2 – Pray that each of us are willing to accept and step into
the different roles that will be needed to see this vision become a reality,
never allowing our jealousies to cause us to wish we had a different role.
3 – Today pray for a willingness to step up…to say, “I don’t
have all this figured out, but God wherever you need me…I am ready.”
4 – Pray that we wouldn’t get sidetracked when we realize
what it costs us to be involved in God’s plan.
Pray that our YES is a YES regardless what that means.
5 – Today pray that we would be willing to make the
financial sacrifices as a church and personally to make this vision
possible.
6 – Pray that God would give us the spirit of servants who are willing to do whatever it
takes to meet those in need where they are and serve.
7 – Today pray that God would help us to refuse to hold
anything back, but that we would through radical abandonment give ourselves
away to God’s plan and purposes.
Prayers for God Pulling Things Together
Feb 8 – God is an abundant God, who has more than we will
ever need. Pray that God would make
available the resources need to carry out His Vision in His World.

servants in areas of ministry, so that as we establish new campuses and

city. Pray that God would grant us favor
with the leaders in those communities and with the people that God would have
us reach.

and patience. Pray that God would help
us to discover His timing!

works, locations where the soil can be made fertile for growth and
Kingdom-Impact.
13 – pray that in each location that God would send us
community partners that would encourage and share our passion for making a
difference.
