21 days of prayer - prayer guide by Legacy Church
November 1–21 is a churchwide season of unity, focus, and expectation as we prepare our hearts for Advent. During these 21 days, we’re coming together as one church family to seek God’s direction for our lives, our church, and our community. Each day you’ll find a simple prayer prompt and a Scripture passage. Use this guide in your daily quiet time, on your own, with your family, or alongside your small group, as we align our hearts with God.
Our focus throughout these 21 days:
- Gratitude – Gratitude softens the heart and refocuses our perspective. Give thanks for God’s blessings, provision, and care and thanking Him for His faithfulness as Legacy continues to navigate changing times.
- Renewal – Seeking God’s presence and allowing His Spirit to work in our hearts, shaping us to reflect His character will, and strengthening our personal connection with Christ.
- Unity – Connecting first with Christ and then with one another. Praying for hearts knit together in love, faith, and purpose. Moving forward together in faith and deepening connection with one another.
- Impact – Our faith was never meant to stay private. Pray that our lives and our church reflect God’s love in a “More Than Sunday” way, and seeking opportunities to share God’s love in our communities.
- Vision – Asking for wisdom and clarity and revival in our hearts as we look forward with faith for the future of Legacy Church.
