21 Days of Prayer | January 1-21





We want our focus during the next twenty one days to be on friendship with God and enjoying Him. Before you reflect on each item stop to do two things:


1. Ask God to stir your affections for Him. That this wouldn’t be a discipline exercise but that it would come out of a place of love.


2. Ask God to let you experience His affections for you today. In your time with Him, or day today that you would experience His love in a tangible way.
