Over the next 21 days, we will unite in prayer as a church, because prayer is the foundation for everything that we do. We believe in the vision that God has entrusted to us - a vision of people knowing God, finding freedom, discovering purpose, and making the difference they were created to make. Each day we will focus on one area that God is leading us to invest our time, passion, and influence during this next season. They are more than events or ministries, but op- portunities for lives to be changed. Families will have their stories redeemed. People will walk free from addictions. Students will discover purpose. Kids will fall into love with Jesus. Every life that God changes through Freedom Church begins here with 21 Days of Prayer. Each day, you will find our prayer focus with a scripture, worship song, and a scripted prayer. During these 21 days, we will pray together as one church every morning at 7am and evening at 7pm. Our prayer lives will grow as we discover new depths of prayer from one another. You are a vital part to what God is doing through Freedom Church. The investment of prayer you make the next 21 days is going to change everything for someone. You are going to be part of someone’s story of redemption, hope, healing, and freedom. Praying with you, Pastor Wade 21 Days of Prayer PAGE DATE FOCUS 2 Jul 19 Our Church and Pastors 3 Jul 20 Our Government Leaders 5 Jul 21 Forgiveness 6 Jul 22 Unity 7 Jul 23 Restoration 9 Jul 24 Healing 10 Jul 25 Hope and Peace 11 Jul 26 Financial Provision 12 Jul 27 Groupst 14 Jul 28 Freedom Confernence 16 Jul 29 Young Life 17 Jul 30 Freedom Women 18 Jul 31 Freedom Men Aug 1 First Sat Prayer Gathering 19 Aug 2 Freedom School of Ministry 20 Aug 3 Freedom Kids and Local Schools 21 Aug 4 Freedom Students 22 Aug 5 Freedom College 23 Aug 6 Amani 24 Aug 7 Identity 25 Aug 8 Freedom Church Resources are available at myfreedom.org/prayer OUR CHURCH AND PASTORS || KATIE BURKE PRAYER Lord, You are the source of hope.

Thank You for loving me and believing in me. Thank You for overlooking my imperfections. Thank You for forgiving me. Help me to accept that forgiveness. I know that my most basic sin is to reject forgiveness for myself. Thank you for the model that we have in Jesus. He showed us the way to truly approach You and live. May I see myself the way Jesus saw himself, as your child. When I accept loving forgiveness for myself, believing that You love me unconditionally, only then can I extend true unconditional love to others. I will not fear punishment for loving and accepting others, instead I will abandon my reputation to love others. Forgive me for looking at the world through the lens of fear. Forgive me for not loving my enemies. Forgive me for withholding forgiveness for myself and others. I lay down my judgment of myself Give me Jesus’ eyes. Give me his mind and his spirit. I so that I can lay lay down my judgment of myself so that I can lay down my judgment of others. I change my mind. I will no down my judgment longer worry about how others view me. I choose to of others. believe what You say about me, that I bare Your image. Teach me to see and point out Your image in those around me. May I be grateful for what I have and not let my vision be clouded by a sense of entitlement for what I want. Empower me to want what You want. Thank you for forgiving me BEFORE I asked for forgiveness. I will no longer withhold forgiveness from someone while waiting to see “repentance,” because You took action for me before I ever asked for it. I trust in Your way, not mine. My forgiveness model is flawed, I will follow Yours. I love You, I trust You. SCRIPTURE Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience. Make allowance for each other’s faults, and forgive anyone who offends you. Remember, the Lord forgave you, so you must forgive others. Above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds us all together in perfect harmony.
