Day 1

As I mentioned before, I'm going to try and have a prayer focus each day. I'll try to share some verses as well. If you have any verses from the Bible that go with the prayer focus, or a verse that was encouraging to you, please share it in a comment!

Prayer Focus: Since this is the first day, the focus is going to be on ourselves. It can be anything.You could pray for: strength to overcome sin, love for others, willingness to do what God has called you to do, and/or peace.For example, I prayed that God would help me to do this challenge. I know I won't be able to do it by myself and that I need His help. I also prayed for my day, that I would shine His light to those around me. These are only a few of the many things to pray for. Please don't feel like you have to pray for these specific things. They are just examples! You know yourself-you have a better idea of what to pray for than I do.
I would like to share some of my favorite verses with you:


⁵ If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. ⁶ But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. ⁷ For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; ⁸ he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. James 1:5-8

 pray without ceasing, 1 Thessalonians 5:17
