A 21-Day Journey of Prayer, Alignment, and Awareness
We’re not starting this year with noise, hype, or pressure. We’re starting with prayer.
Pray First is a 21-day invitation for our church family to realign our hearts, reset our priorities, and become more aware of God’s presence in every part of life.

Along with your prayer requests, over these 21 days, we’re praying intentionally in four key areas:
We’re beginning by praying for awareness of God’s presence in our everyday lives. Not striving to get God closer, but slowing down long enough to recognize that He is already near. Over these 21 days, we’re asking God to quiet the noise, settle our hearts, and help us live with a deeper awareness of His nearness in our homes, our work, our relationships, and our decisions. This is about learning to start every moment from presence, not pressure.
As we become aware of God’s presence, we also pray with confidence in His protection. This isn’t fear-based prayer or hiding from the world, it’s alignment with a faithful Father who covers, guards, and leads His people. We’re praying protection over our minds, our families, our church, and the things we can’t always see or control. These prayers anchor us in trust, reminding us that we are not exposed, forgotten, or alone.
Throughout these 21 days, we’re praying for God’s provision in every form it takes. Not just financial needs, but wisdom, strength, peace, clarity, healing, and direction. Provision is whatever God supplies to sustain us and move His purposes forward in our lives. We’re learning to trust God not only for what we want, but for what He knows we need, believing that He is a good Provider who meets us with grace and care.
We’re ending where God’s heart has always been... people. Over these 21 days, we’re praying for open hearts, renewed compassion, and eyes to see people the way God sees them. We’re praying for our families, our friends, our city, and those who feel far from God. We’re also praying for courage to be part of the answer... willing hearts, open hands, and a church ready to love people well.
Because prayer doesn’t just happen by inspiration, it grows through intentionality.
This isn’t a religious challenge.
It’s a spiritual invitation.
An invitation to slow down. To re-center. To remember who walks with you.
For the next 21 days, we’re choosing to pray first... not later, not when everything falls apart, not when we’re desperate.
Because when we pray first, everything that follows looks different.
