PRAY. Throughout this series, we will be seeking God’s heart through Scripture and asking for His Kingdom to come and His will to be done in our lives, our families, our city, our nation, and our world. God invites us to partner with Him in prayer, and as Jesus taught us, we can boldly pray, "Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." When we humble ourselves in prayer, God promises to hear, forgive, and heal (2 Chronicles 7:14). This guide offers key scriptures and crafted prayers for various issues, both personal and national, to help you engage in prayerful intercession during these critical days. Find the Prayer Guide & Calendar here.

FAST. October 7-9 is our Antioch international prayer & fast. Churches all over the world (antioch.org) join together to pray for breakthrough for our teams and the nations. This year, our focus is Isaiah 51:1-16, which is filled with expectation of the ways God wants to move, and with an invitation for Him to “Awake!” As God moves, we are believing for the “ones” who love Jesus to become many in every place. Please see our International Fast & Prayer Guide for prayer points.

VOTE. In today’s divided world, it can be tough to navigate big issues while staying anchored in the truth of Scripture. As followers of Jesus, we’re called to view everything through a biblical lens, letting God’s Word guide our thinking and decisions. The Church is made up of diverse people, each bringing their own background and experiences to how they vote or approach societal issues. While we might end up supporting different candidates, our hope is that we all make choices rooted in our shared Biblical values, praying for unity in the essentials of our faith and mission. These resources are here to help you build a strong Biblical worldview, so your faith—not the surrounding culture—shapes how you engage with the world.

Just a heads-up: these resources shouldn’t be taken as an endorsement of any political party or candidate. We hope they spark great conversations with your pastor, mentor, or Lifegroup leader!
