Today’s Prayer Focus:
Open doors to have a greater influence in our local schools.

Scripture (NLT):
“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.”— Jeremiah 29:13

Devotion:
When we seek God’s face, we align our hearts with His heart. God deeply cares about the next generation, and schools are one of the most influential shaping grounds in their lives. Before we ask God to open doors, we pause to ask Him to shape us. Influence doesn’t start with access—it starts with intimacy. As we draw near to God, He positions us naturally and supernaturally to carry His wisdom, peace, and love into places that matter most. When we seek His presence, He entrusts us with purpose.

Activation / Challenge:

Set aside 5–10 minutes today to pray specifically for greater godly influence in our local schools. Ask God to open hearts, relationships, and opportunities—and ask Him to prepare us to carry His presence wherever He sends us.

Today’s Prayer Focus:
Protection over our Pastoral team.

Scripture (NLT):
“The Lord is my strength and shield. I trust him with all my heart.”— Psalm 28:7

Devotion:
Those who pour out the most often need covering the most. When we seek God’s face, we remember that strength flows from His presence, not human effort. God is both shield and sustainer. Our pastors carry spiritual weight, emotional responsibility, and constant demand—but God never intended them to carry it alone. As we seek Him, we stand in the gap, asking for protection over their minds, marriages, health, and calling. Seeking God’s face reminds us that leadership is guarded by grace.

Activation / Challenge:
Spend 5–10 minutes praying specifically for protection, strength, and refreshing over our Pastoral team. Ask God to surround them with peace, wisdom, and spiritual covering.

Today’s Prayer Focus:
Destiny Kids Academy leadership, staff, and children.

Scripture (NLT):
“Commit everything you do to the Lord. Trust him, and he will help you.”— Psalm 37:5

Devotion:
When we seek God’s face, we bring every responsibility back to Him. Destiny Kids Academy is more than a daycare—it’s a mission field filled with young lives and growing hearts. God’s presence brings order, favor, wisdom, and protection. As we seek Him, we trust Him with leadership decisions, staffing needs, and the spiritual environment. God doesn’t just bless what we build—He builds what we bless by inviting Him in.

Activation / Challenge:
Take 5–10 minutes to pray specifically for Destiny Kids Academy—its leadership, staff, children, and families. Ask God to fill the academy with peace, provision, and His presence.

Today’s Prayer Focus:
Our church finances and provision for ministry.

Scripture (NLT):
“Seek the Kingdom of God above all else… and he will give you everything you need.”— Matthew 6:33

Devotion:
It’s easy to seek God’s hand when resources are tight—but faith grows when we seek His face first. God already knows our needs, our strain, and our limits. When we seek His presence, we shift from worry to trust. Provision flows from alignment, not anxiety. As we draw close to Him, He brings clarity, strategy, and supernatural supply. Seeking God’s face reminds us that lack does not define us—His faithfulness does.

Activation / Challenge:
Spend 5–10 minutes praying specifically for financial provision, wisdom, and breakthrough for our church. Ask God to align hearts, release resources, and remove every hindrance to ministry.

Today’s Prayer Focus:
Spiritual growth, protection, and calling over children, youth and young adults.

Scripture (NLT):
“Direct your children onto the right path, and when they are older, they will not leave it.”— Proverbs 22:6

Devotion:
When we seek God’s face, we partner with His desire to raise up a generation that knows Him personally. Children, youth and young adults don’t just need programs—they need encounters. God’s presence marks hearts early and anchors them for life. As we seek Him, we ask that distractions lose power and that purpose awakens. The seeds planted today will bear fruit for decades to come.

Activation / Challenge:
Set aside 5–10 minutes to pray specifically for our children, youth and adults—their protection, faith, friendships, and future. Ask God to draw them into a real relationship with Him.  Pray for our leaders who oversee these ministries, Pastors Wesley and Katlyn Jenkins.

Today’s Prayer Focus:
Worship ministry leadership, musicians, and spiritual depth.

Scripture (NLT):“God is Spirit, so those who worship him must worship in spirit and in truth.”— John 4:24

Devotion:
Worship is not performance—it’s presence. When we seek God’s face, worship becomes a meeting place, not just a moment. God desires a worshiping church that is led by surrendered hearts. As we seek Him, we trust God to raise up the right people, the right leaders, and the right sound that draws people into His presence. True worship always flows from intimacy.

Activation / Challenge:
Spend 5–10 minutes praying specifically for our worship ministry. Ask God to provide musicians, a worship leader, unity, and a deep hunger for His presence.

Today’s Prayer Focus:
Our missionaries and the work they are doing.

Scripture (NLT):
“How beautiful are the feet of messengers who bring good news!” — Romans 10:15

Devotion:
Seeking God’s face expands our vision beyond ourselves. Missionaries carry God’s presence into places many will never go. As we seek Him, we stand with them in prayer, strength, and support. God’s presence sustains them, protects them, and empowers their work. When we seek His face together, the reach of the gospel multiplies.

Activation / Challenge:
Take 5–10 minutes to pray specifically for our missionaries—their protection, provision, families, and impact. Ask God to strengthen them and advance His Kingdom through their obedience.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Searching our Hearts and Renewing Our Personal Devotion

Scripture: 
Psalm 51:10 (NLT)
“Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me.”

Psalm 139:23-24 (NLT)
“Search me, O God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. 24 Point out anything in me that offends you, and lead me along the path of everlasting life.”

Devotional:
Before we turn our attention outward—toward prayer, fasting, or standing in the gap for others—Scripture invites us to begin inward. True spiritual focus always starts with the heart. Fasting is not just about abstaining from food or distractions; it’s about alignment. It’s a moment where we pause long enough to ask God, “Search me. Show me where You want to work first.”

It’s far easier to notice what’s broken in someone else than to confront what may be misaligned in us. We can be quick to diagnose others while excusing ourselves. Yet God’s transforming work flows best through humility. When we take time to examine our own attitudes, motives, and responses, we make room for real change to happen.

This kind of heart check isn’t about condemnation—it’s about clarity. God doesn’t reveal things to shame us, but to heal us. As we allow Him to deal with pride, offense, unforgiveness, or distraction, our spiritual vision sharpens. We begin to fast and pray from a place of sincerity rather than performance.

When the heart is right, the focus is right. And when our focus is right, our prayers carry weight. Today, before asking God to change anything around you, invite Him to do His refining work within you. What He shapes in you will overflow to others.

Activation:

• Gather a journal/notepad and pen to take notes as God speaks to you.

• Ask God: “Show me areas of my life that are out of order.”

• Sit quietly and listen. Then, journal or text those thoughts to yourself for future reflection as you continue to grow in the Lord.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Spiritual hunger for myself, our church family and our nation

Scripture:  
Matthew 5:6 (NIV)
“Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.”

Psalm 42:1-2 (NIV)
As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When can I go and meet with God?

Devotional:
At Destiny, we often sing the worship song Make Room, and its message is simple but searching: “I will make room for You.” Those words are more than lyrics—they are a prayer of surrender. They remind us that hunger for God grows where space is created. God doesn’t force His way into crowded hearts. He fills the places we willingly open to Him.

Many times, our lack of spiritual hunger isn’t because God is distant, but because our lives are full—full of schedules, noise, comfort, and control. Creating hunger begins with making room. Room for His voice. Room for His leading. Room for Him to rearrange what no longer belongs.

During this season, let this be our posture: “Do whatever You want to do.” As we clear space, desire awakens. When God has room, He brings renewal. And where hunger is present, God always responds with His presence.

Activation:

• Gather a journal/notepad and pen to take notes as God speaks to you.

• Listen to “MAKE ROOM”

• Ask God: “Show me what I need to lay down (both tangible or intangible) in order to make room for You?”

• Listen and write down what stands out.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Salvation for our friends, family and neighbors

Scripture: 
Luke 19:10 (NLT)
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”

2 Peter 3:9 (NLT)
“The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent.”

Acts 16:31 (NLT)
They replied, “Believe in the Lord Jesus and you will be saved, along with everyone in your household.”

Devotional:
The heart of God has always been for people—especially those closest to us. Our family members, friends, and neighbors are not just part of our daily lives; they are deeply loved by God. Salvation is more than a decision—it’s an invitation into relationship, freedom, and new life in Christ. When we pray for those around us, we are partnering with God’s redemptive heart.

It’s easy to feel discouraged when loved ones seem far from faith, but God is never finished working. He pursues with patience, mercy, and grace. Our role is not to pressure or argue, but to love, pray, and live as witnesses of what Jesus has done in us. A transformed life often speaks louder than words.

As we lift up our families and communities, let us trust that God is drawing hearts, opening eyes, and softening spirits. No one is beyond His reach. Continue to believe, pray, and hope—because salvation begins with God, and His arm is not too short to save.

Activation:

• Gather a journal/notepad and pen to take notes as God speaks to you.

• Ask God to show you the family members, friends and neighbors to pray for their salvation today.

• Text each of these people today saying: “Hey, I’m praying for you today. Is there anything specific you want me to pray for you about?”

• Sit quietly and listen. Write down what He reveals about them.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Our pastors, leaders and volunteers

Scripture: 
Hebrews 13:7 (NLT)
“Remember your leaders who taught you the word of God. Think of all the good that has come from their lives, and follow the example of their faith.”

1 Thessalonians 5:12-13 (NLT)
“Dear brothers and sisters, honor those who are your leaders in the Lord’s work. They work hard among you and give you spiritual guidance. 13 Show them great respect and wholehearted love because of their work. And live peacefully with each other.”

Devotional:
Our spiritual leaders carry a sacred responsibility. They stand in the gap, preach truth, care for people, and often do so while facing pressures most never see. Because of that calling, they are also frequent targets of spiritual attack—discouragement, distraction, criticism, and isolation. Scripture reminds us that leaders watch over souls, and that weight requires more than admiration; it requires support.

One of the greatest gifts we can give our spiritual leaders is prayer. Prayer covers what we cannot see and strengthens them where words fall short. Alongside prayer, loyalty matters. A loyal heart refuses gossip, chooses unity, and believes the best. Service matters too—when we faithfully carry our part of the load, leaders are freed to focus on what God has called them to do.

Generosity also plays a role. Giving is not just financial support; it’s a declaration that we value the work God is doing through leadership. When leaders are supported, the whole body benefits.

Today, take a moment to intentionally lift our spiritual leaders before the Lord. Ask God to protect them, refresh them, and strengthen them. When leaders are covered, the church is healthier—and God’s work moves forward with greater strength and clarity.

Activation:

• Gather a journal/notepad and pen to take notes as God speaks to you.

• Pray for: strength, protection, anointing, provision

• Ask God: “Lord, show me ways I can strengthen my leaders.”

• Sit quietly and listen. Write down what He reveals to you and make a plan to obey what God says to you.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Offense, Division, Witchcraft

Scripture: 
Psalm 133 (NIV)
How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!  2 It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe.  3 It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Lord bestows his blessing, even life forevermore.

Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)
“For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.”

2 Corinthians 10:4 (NIV)
“The weapons we fight with are not the weapons of the world. On the contrary, they have divine power to demolish strongholds.”

Devotional:
The enemy has always worked strategically against the church, not just through obvious attacks, but through subtle divisions. One of the most effective tools he uses is the spirit of offense. Offense creeps in quietly—through misunderstandings, unmet expectations, hurt feelings, or careless words. When offense is allowed to remain, it creates distance. And distance, left unchecked, becomes division.

The enemy understands something vital: a divided church is a distracted church. When we are focused on one another instead of God’s purpose, our strength is weakened and our witness is blurred. That’s why unity matters so deeply. Scripture teaches that when God’s people dwell together in unity, something supernatural happens—an anointing flows over leadership and through the entire body. Unity invites God’s presence and releases spiritual authority.

This is why guarding our hearts is spiritual warfare. Choosing forgiveness, walking in humility, and refusing offense are not passive acts—they are powerful defenses. Unity does not mean uniformity, but it does mean shared purpose and shared love.

Today, ask the Lord to reveal any place where offense may have taken root. Choose unity. Protect the bond of peace. When the church stands united, the enemy loses ground, and God’s purposes advance with power.

Activation:

• Gather a journal/notepad and pen to take notes as God speaks to you.

• Pray against spirits that are assigned to our spiritual leaders, church, our families

• Ask God: “Lord, show me if I have been an agent of the enemy or opened any doors to demonic activity in my life / home / church?”

• Sit quietly and listen. Write down what He reveals to you.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Supplications of needs for our church and my family.

Scripture: 
Philippians 4:19 (NLT)
“And this same God who takes care of me will supply all your needs from his glorious riches, which have been given to us in Christ Jesus.”

Matthew 6:31-33 (NLT)
“So don’t worry about these things, saying, ‘What will we eat? What will we drink? What will we wear?’ 32 These things dominate the thoughts of unbelievers, but your heavenly Father already knows all your needs. 33 Seek the Kingdom of God[a] above all else, and live righteously, and he will give you everything you need.

Devotional:
It’s easy to blur the line between needs and wants, especially in a culture that constantly tells us we need more. But God clearly understands the difference—and He cares about both. Scripture reminds us that our Father knows what we need before we ever ask. He is not distant or reluctant; He is attentive and generous.

God is able to provide. Nothing limits His resources. He also desires to provide, because provision flows from His love, not obligation. And most importantly, He will provide—faithfully, consistently, and on time. Sometimes He meets our needs in ways we expect, and other times in ways that stretch our trust and deepen our dependence on Him.

Whenwe place our priorities in His hands, God aligns provision with purpose. He supplies what we need to live, grow, and serve, and often blesses us beyond that so we can be a blessing to others. Today, rest in this truth: your needs are seen, your prayers are heard, and your God is faithful to provide.

Activation:

• Gather a journal/notepad and pen to take notes as God speaks to you.

• Makea list of needs and wants you have. Keep this list handy for regular prayer until the Lord provides. Pray for ministry volunteers, especially in the areas of our children’s ministry and worship ministry (musicians and a worship leader).

• Sit quietly and listen. Write down what He reveals to you.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Financial Breakthrough

Scripture: 
2 Corinthians 9:6–8 (NIV)
“Remember this—a farmer who plants only a few seeds will get a small crop. But the one who plants generously will get a generous crop. You must each decide in your heart how much to give. And don’t give reluctantly or in response to pressure. ‘For God loves a person who gives cheerfully.’ And God will generously provide all you need. Then you will always have everything you need and plenty left over to share with others.”

Proverbs 3:9-10 (NIV)
“Honor the Lord with your wealth and with the best part of everything you produce. Then he will fill your barns with grain, and your vats will overflow with good wine.”

Devotional:
Generosity is a powerful expression of trust in God. From a Christian perspective, giving is not about loss—it’s about alignment. When we give, we acknowledge that God is our source, not our finances. As we believe for breakthrough in this area of our lives, generosity positions our hearts to receive what God wants to release.

Fasting for financial breakthrough is not only about asking God to increase provision; it’s also about freeing our hearts from fear, control, and scarcity. Giving breaks the grip of mammon (money) and opens our lives to God’s economy, where seed produces harvest and obedience invites blessing.

When we intentionally free up resources for Kingdom expansion, we partner with what God is already doing in the earth. Our generosity fuels the mission, reaches people, and advances the gospel beyond what we could do alone.

Today, ask the Lord how He wants to shape your heart through generosity. Give with faith. Give with joy. As we put God first, He proves faithful to supply, multiply, and use what we place in His hands for His glory.

Activation:

• Gather a journal/notepad and pen to take notes as God speaks to you.

• Pray for maturing in the area of stewardship; managing what God has given us; and any spiritual hindrances of financial flow; pray for not only the needs of the church to be met, but us to have overflow of finances to pour into our communities locally and internationally; pray for our church to be paid off and be debt free.  We currently own $988,000.  Our God is able.

• Sit quietly and listen. Write down what He reveals to you.

Core Value: We Embrace the Supernatural.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Awareness of God’s supernatural nature and activity among us

Scripture (NLT):
Acts 1:8 – “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere…”

Devotional:
God is not natural. He is eternal, limitless, and supernatural by nature. When we say that we embrace the supernatural, we are not saying that we occasionally need God to step in—we are declaring that we live from His reality, not ours.

From the beginning, God revealed Himself through power, presence, and promise. The cross was not a natural solution to a spiritual problem—it was a supernatural act of redemption. And the resurrection was not symbolic—it was a decisive demonstration that God’s power operates beyond human limitation.

Communion reminds us that we belong to this supernatural kingdom. When we remember Jesus’ body broken and His blood poured out, we are aligning ourselves again with the truth that God works beyond what we can explain, measure, or control. The Holy Spirit does not supplement our faith—He animates it.

To embrace the supernatural is to stay open to God’s power, voice, and movement without reducing Him to what feels safe or familiar. It is choosing expectancy over explanation and obedience over comfort.

As we take communion today, we remember that Jesus did not invite us into a merely moral life, but into a Spirit-empowered one.

Activation:

·      Prepare communion elements.

·      Ask God: “Where have I limited You to what feels natural or predictable?”

·      Sit quietly and listen for His response.

·      Take communion, realigning your heart with the reality of God’s supernatural kingdom.

Core Value: Our Witness Matters.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Authentic faith and integrity in daily life

Scripture (NLT):
Matthew 5:16 – “Let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.”

Devotional:
Communion reminds us that our faith was never meant to remain hidden. The cross transformed us publicly so we could live faithfully both publicly and privately.

Our witness is not about perfection—it’s about authenticity. When our private life matches our public confession, our faith becomes credible and compelling. People are often drawn to Christ not by polished words, but by consistent lives.

As we remember Jesus’ sacrifice today, we ask whether our lives reflect the grace we claim to believe.

Activation:

·      Prepare communion elements.

·      Ask God: “Does my private life reflect my public faith?”

·      Listen and write what He shows you.

·      Take communion, committing to live authentically before God and others.

Core Value: We Are Lifelong Learners.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Teachability, balance, and spiritual growth

Scripture (NLT):
Proverbs 1:5 – “Let the wise listen to these proverbs and become even wiser. Let those with understanding receive guidance.”

Devotional:
Communion reminds us that faith is not static—it grows. Jesus’ sacrifice opened the door for transformation, but growth requires humility and teachability.

Being a lifelong learner means remaining open to God’s correction, instruction, and direction. It means resisting spiritual stagnation and choosing growth even when it challenges us.

As we take communion, we remember that Jesus invites us not only to believe, but to become—more like Him over time.

Activation:

·      Prepare communion elements.

·      Ask God: “Where are You inviting me to grow?”

·      Listen quietly.

·      Take communion, committing to remain teachable and responsive.

Core Value: We Give Our Best.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:

Generosity, service, and excellence

Scripture (NLT):
Colossians 3:23 – “Work willingly at whatever you do, as though you were working for the Lord rather than for people.”

Devotional:

Communion reminds us that Jesus gave His best—His life. Our response is not obligation, but gratitude expressed through generosity, service, and excellence.

Giving our best is not about perfection; it’s about intention. It’s choosing to honor God with our time, resources, and effort because He first gave everything for us.

As we remember the cross, we realign our hearts to give—not reluctantly, but joyfully.

Activation:

·      Prepare communion elements.

·      Ask God: “Am I giving my best to You?”

·      Listen and reflect.

·      Take communion, offering your life, service, and generosity to God.

Core Value: Community Connects Us.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Deepened relationships and spiritual connection

Scripture (NLT):
Hebrews 10:24–25 – “Let us think of ways to motivate one another to acts of love and good works. And let us not neglect our meeting together…”

Devotional:
Communion was never meant to be taken alone—it was birthed in community. While we may take communion individually, it always points us back to shared faith and shared life.

Community connects us spiritually, emotionally, and relationally. Faith grows stronger when it is lived out together. Isolation weakens what connection strengthens.

As we remember Jesus today, we remember that we belong—not just to Him, but to one another.

Activation:

·      Prepare communion elements.

·      Ask God: “Am I walking in meaningful community?”

·      Consider one relationship God may be inviting you to strengthen.

·      Take communion, thanking God for spiritual family.

Core Value: Honoring Others Honors God.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Encouragement, kindness, and grace in relationships

Scripture (NLT):
Romans 12:10 – “Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other.”

Devotional:
Communion reminds us that every person carries value. Jesus’ sacrifice declares worth—not based on performance, but on creation and redemption.

Honoring others is a reflection of how deeply we understand grace. When people walk away from conversations with us, do they feel encouraged, valued, and seen?

As we remember Christ’s humility and sacrifice, we are invited to extend that same honor to others.

Activation:

·      Prepare communion elements.

·      Ask God: “Do people feel honored after interacting with me?”

·      Write down one way you can intentionally encourage someone today.

·      Take communion, asking God to shape your words and attitudes.

Core Value: We Fiercely Protect Unity.

Today’s Church Prayer Focus:
Alignment with Destiny’s mission and vision

Scripture (NLT):
Ephesians 4:3 – “Make every effort to keep yourselves united in the Spirit, binding yourselves together with peace.”

Devotional:
Communion reminds us that we are one body. Unity does not mean uniformity—it means shared purpose, shared mission, and shared surrender to Christ.

Unity must be protected because division is costly. When we align our hearts with God’s mission, we advance together rather than pulling apart.

As we conclude these 21 days, communion becomes a moment of recommitment—not just to Christ, but to one another and the vision God has entrusted to this house.

Activation:

·      Prepare communion elements.

·      Ask God: “Am I aligned with the mission and vision of Destiny Church?”

·      Listen and reflect.

·      Take communion, recommitting yourself to unity and shared purpose.
