MinistryWide Day of Prayer and Fasting

Matt Crawford | August 6, 2026

Isaiah 40:29–31
“He gives power to the faint, and to him who has no might he increases strength. Even youths shall faint and be weary, and young men shall fall exhausted; but they who wait for the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles; they shall run and not be weary; they shall walk and not faint.”

Lord, we come to You before we run ahead of You. Thank You for sustaining us throughout this year, and for the work You have prepared for the days ahead. We confess that busyness can crowd out our dependence on You, so help us to lean not on our own understanding, but to rely fully on You every day You give us breath.

Renew the strength of each of our leaders serving in different capacities as they faithfully shepherd and serve our precious participants around the world. Wherever they are and whatever their calendar holds right now, renew their strength. Where there is anxiety about the pace ahead, give peace. Where there is uncertainty, give clarity. Where there is weariness, give rest.

May this ministry run on Your strength, not ours, for the glory of Christ our Lord. Amen.
