June 2026 prayer & Fasting Guide

Theme: Send Me

Church family, faith that remains private will eventually become passive. The book of James calls believers to a faith that works—a faith that listens, obeys, serves, speaks wisely, and goes where God sends. As we pray and fast together this month, ask the Lord not only to teach us His Word, but to form us into people who gladly say, “Send me.”

Praying for Direction as We Form a Pastor Search Team

As our church seeks the Lord’s will in selecting those who will serve on the Pastor Search Team, we commit ourselves to prayer. Use the Scriptures and prompts below to guide your intercession.


Praying for God’s Direction

  • Pray that God will clearly reveal the individuals He is calling to serve in this important role. 
  • Ask the Lord to show us qualities and people we may not naturally think of but whom He has prepared. 
  • Seek God’s insight so that our choices reflect His wisdom rather than our assumptions.
