Dear Prayer Warriors,
In this significant time in our generation, our commitment to prayer needs to
rise up to this time in history. God has been gracious to our nation and to us, His
church. We are grateful.
Spread the word: We need prayer warriors! Announce it in your small group,
Bible study, worship, mission, and fellowship. Move people to sign-up and join
us in this moment. They can do so by using this link: crosschurch.com/circle. Just
remember, the “ask” is relatively simple:
• Commit to allocating 30 minutes weekly to pray specifically for our church.
• Commit to use the prayer guide, knowing you are praying in agreement with no less than
3,000 of our people weekly.
Share the word. We need to raise up hundreds of people to stand in the gap and on the prayer wall
weekly!
Note on the February prayer guide, there are some major ministry functions and events to pray for
this month. Let’s trust God for big things!
Now is the time to lead and to pray,
Ronnie Floyd

Preparing to Pray
Confession of Sin
(8 Minutes)
A Time of Confession
“... without the shedding of blood there is no forgiveness.” Hebrews 9:22
• Confess the power of Jesus’ blood; giving thanks to God for its power being so great, it covers all sin in
this world.
• Confess your sins to God. Take time to listen to the Spirit convict you. Then confess your sins, but also
the power of Jesus’ blood and His forgiveness.
• Confess your gratitude to God for Jesus’ death on the cross, asking Him to empower you to share God’s
love with others.
A Time of Surrender
“... I urge you to present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God; this is your spiritual worship.”
Romans 12:1
• Present yourself 100% to Jesus… declaring Him as Lord of your life.
• Present all God has given you... family, possessions, career, money, influence, and all things, give it all
to Jesus now. Declare to God: I own nothing; You own everything!
• Present your future to God, releasing your days left on this earth to Jesus so He can use you for the rest
of your life.
