21 Days of Fasting and Prayer

Day 17 | January 24

Scripture Reading | Romans 8:9-11

9 You, however, are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death because of sin, the Spirit gives life because of righteousness. 11 And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead is living in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies because of his Spirit who lives in you.

Scriptural Prayer

Praise and Worship 
Father in Heaven, we praise You for the gift of Your Spirit, which gives life to our mortal bodies. You are the source of life and the conqueror of death, and in You, we have the promise of resurrection and eternal life.

Praying God’s Will
Lord God, as You have declared that those who are led by Your Spirit are Your children, guide us to live according to the Spirit, putting to death the deeds of the body and living in righteousness.

Praying the Request 
Holy Spirit, dwell richly within us. May Your life-giving power continually renew our minds and transform our lives. Just as You raised Christ from the dead, quicken our mortal bodies, that we may serve You with energy and passion.

Praying for Forgiveness 
Forgive us, O God, when we live according to the flesh rather than the Spirit. Forgive our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us in the path of life everlasting.

Praying for Protection 
Protect us from the deathly influence of sin, and empower us to live victoriously. May Your Spirit sustain us in all trials and reassure us of the victory we have in Christ Jesus.

Praise and Worship 
We worship You, O Lord, for the assurance that Your Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us. By Your Spirit, we are more than conquerors through Him who loved us. In the mighty name of Jesus, we pray. Amen.
