Day 4: Thursday - Grace, Gifting & Empowerment

Prayer & Fasting - Day 4 (Thursday)
Thursday – Grace, Gifting & Empowerment

Purpose:
As NCA, we are setting this week apart to prepare our hearts, our church, our ministries, and our city for breakthrough and an outpouring of God’s movement.

We are seeking God in Prayer & Fasting from Monday, February 23 – Sunday, March 1, breaking our fast together after service.

Fast as the Lord leads you — whether from food, entertainment, social media, or another area. Seek accountability. Encourage one another. Remain steadfast.

Join us for:
  • Morning Prayer – 6AM (Zoom via NCA App)
  • Evening Prayer – 6PM (Zoom via NCA App)

Today’s Focus: Grace, Gifting & Empowerment

“But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain… yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.”
— 1 Corinthians 15:10

How to Pray Today
Set three intentional prayer times (morning, afternoon, evening).
At the top of each hour, pause for 30 seconds and pray through today’s focus.

Grace
  • Thank God for His sustaining grace over your life.
  • Ask for fresh grace for areas where you feel weak or stretched.
  • Pray for grace to remain faithful and steadfast.
  • Pray for increased grace over NCA in this season of breakthrough.

Gifting
  • Ask God to stir up the gifts He has placed inside you.
  • Pray for clarity about how He wants to use you.
  • Surrender comparison and insecurity.
  • Pray for spiritual gifts to operate powerfully within our Life Groups and Ministry Teams.

Empowerment
  • Ask for the filling and empowerment of the Holy Spirit.
  • Pray for boldness in evangelism and ministry.
  • Ask God to strengthen you to walk in obedience.
  • Pray that NCA would be empowered to impact our city.

Throughout the Day

  • Center your attention on Jesus.
  • Limit social media and outside distractions.
  • Read the Bible whenever you have free moments.
  • Carry a physical Bible if possible.
  • Sit quietly and listen — write down what God is stirring in you.
  • Ask God for words of encouragement for your Life Group and Ministry Team — and send them.

Grace sustains us. Gifts equip us. The Spirit empowers us. Today we receive what God has given and step forward in breakthrough.

1 Corinthians 15:10
But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace toward me was not in vain… yet not I, but the grace of God that was with me.
