84 Days Of Soaring

WEEK ONE – RELIANCE
DAY 2 – United In Prayer

Where To Start
Read Acts 1:12-26 and then watch the DAY TWO video.

They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

Acts 1:14

DEVOTIONAL

WEEK 1 – RELIANCE
DAY TWO

Prayer is the gateway into all that God wants to do. God is our strength and refuge and helps us when we face various types of trouble. The disciples no longer had Jesus physically and visibly with them. Judas, their treasurer, had betrayed Jesus and died from suicide.

They were surrounded by people who had just killed Jesus and were ready to persecute His followers. Life felt discouraging, and they felt trapped. They made a wise decision to pray. Not just once or a few times, but continually.

It is difficult to mobilize a group of people to commit to prayer.

We get distracted easily and our devotion wavers. We often rely on our own strength and answers instead of looking to God. As they prayed, God gave them the next step forward, and they voted to have Matthias replace Judas.

It was incremental progress, not monumental initially. The floodgates of heaven would open soon, but they began by being committed to moving forward together on their knees. The need to pray is just as great today. Let’s answer that call as one family. 

Just Choose Hope

 

HOPE POINT

Be intentional to ask God for wisdom as you make prayerful decisions.

REFLECTION QUESTIONS

What are some of the decisions that were made in this passage?

 

How does pride block prayer?

 

Who would pray with you more often during the week if you asked them?

 

PRAYER

Father God, we surrender to You because we trust You. May Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Lead us, we pray, as we desire Your plans and purposes. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
