21 DAYS OF PRAYER - 2026 - West Ridge Church

Welcome to 21 Days of Prayer!

Jeremiah 29:13 says, “you will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart.” We invite you to spend the next 21 days seeking the Lord by intentionally reading through these prompts, and responding with prayer and written reflection. Prayer changes everything. Imagine what can happen when a body of believers comes together and prays the same thing at the same time to the same God. Let’s come expectant for chains to break, mountains to move, the sick to be healed, and revival to break out in our midst. But we know this – before revival can take place, there must be a renewal of our hearts and minds. That’s why the focus of the next 21 Days is Renew: a journey of repentance, renewal, and revival. Renewal begins with you and the Holy Spirit – so set aside some time each day, ask God to move, and watch what He can do!
