“Step into His Presence so that we can Step out in His Power”
In unity, the church will pray together for the first 10 days of each month. We will pray for God to answer our specific prayers.
The purpose of the First 10 prayer is that the church would be unified in stepping into the presence of God so that they can step out in confidence in the Lord’s power. As we step out in God’s power we will advance the Kingdom of God.

Day 1 Prayer & Fasting- What is Prayer?
Prayer is directly addressing God through communication. This communication can be through the following: verbal, thought, or written. Prayer can be public, private, silent, audible, formal or informal. The main thought of prayer is that you are going to God to communicate anything that you need to communicate. Ask God to help you communicate with Him every day and at any time of the day.
Day 2 Prayer- Before the Throne of God
Hebrews 4:14-16-Jesus knows our every need. He has also made a way for us to come to Him in our time of need. There is never a time when His throne closes. He is accessible at all times in all places. Go before the throne of God. Ask God to help you see your need for approaching His throne daily.
Day 3 Prayer & Fasting- What is personal worship?
Galatians 5:25- We are to live our life practically by walking in the Spirit of God. Our personal worship is how our lives reflect our worship of God. If we are actively worshipping God in everything that we do, then there will be a reflection of God’s glory in everything we do. On the other hand, if we are inactive in our worship toward God in all things of our life, then our life will not reflect God’s glory. What does your personal worship of the Lord say about your desire to reflect God’s glory? Ask God for the desire to know Him more so that you can reflect His glory.
Day 4 Prayer- - Personal Worship Time
Every day there should be a time where you are setting aside all things in order to go before the Lord and let Him speak to you. There’s a generational hymn called, “Sweet Hour of Prayer” and the main point of the song is to take time to be with the Lord and pouring your life out before Him. This should be a daily occurrence. Set aside an hour each day and spend it in God’s word and in prayer. If an hour seems a lot right now, start with 30 minutes and give that to the Lord, asking Him to increase your time with Him each day.
Day 5 Prayer & Fasting- Schedules
Our schedules dictate all of our life. Some of us are good about planning out our life and others of us just take it as it comes. Be encouraged to schedule your time with the Lord. Seasons will change and you may have to adjust your schedule, but that should be the top priority. Don’t let your schedules get in the way of your time with the Lord. Your life depends on it. Ask God to help you develop a schedule to spend time in His Word and prayer. Stick with your schedule.
Day 6 Prayer- Journaling
Write it down! One of the things that we miss out on is writing down our time that we spend with God. If you make this an every day habit, you will see how it structures your prayers and your Bible reading. Writing your prayers out is a good way to look back at how God has answered your prayers. You usually remember what you write down. So, remember to write it down. Ask the Lord to help you begin writing down your times of personal worship and reflecting upon His work in those times.
Day 7 Prayer & Fasting- People can tell
People can tell when you haven’t been in the Word of God. A pastor that I respect once said, “If I haven’t been in God’s Word for a couple days, I can tell. If it’s been a few days, my wife can tell. If it’s been longer than a week, others can tell.” Your output really does reflect your input level. Let your input level be strong so that you can shine the light of Jesus everywhere. Ask the Lord to give you a yearning for a consistency in your Bible reading.
Day 8 Prayer- Singing in Personal Worship
You may not be the best singer in the world. You actually may think you are the worst. However, we all should go to the Lord in singing on a regular basis in our time of personal worship. Recently, a devotional has been shared by “The Worship Initiative.” This is a group started by the music artists Shane and Shane. Each day there is a song that is sung that goes along with Scripture. Let songs be a big part of your day. Have a song in your heart and sing it to God. Let Scripture open up your mind to songs that extol our God and King. Ask the Lord to help you learn to sing to Him each day.
Day 9 Prayer & Fasting- ACTS
If you are struggling to pray, here is an acronym that can help you in your daily prayers.
Your family needs to know how to actively worship the Lord in their lives. Encourage your family to set aside time to worship the Lord in Bible reading, prayer, and singing. Make it a point to regularly worship together. The more we encourage one another to do this, the more we will see personal worship extended throughout the generations. Ask the Lord to help you lead your family to prioritize personal worship.
