Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.

Write down 5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations.
READ. Today’s scripture reading is from 2 Corinthians 9:7-11, Deuteronomy 14:23 & Malachi 3:10-11

Tomorrow, we’re beginning 22 Days of Prayer for 2022
As we begin 2022, we want to give God our plans and lives through worship, prayer and fasting. If the last few years have been a transition for the church from a cruise ship (comfort) to a troop carrier (built for speed & mission), we believe 2022 is time to Ignite the Boiler Room and move full steam ahead. Our prayer is that God would ignite our hearts, our homes, our churches, and our movement this year. That’s why we’re starting with 22 Days of Prayer for 2022.We’re praying for…
1. Hunger for Jesus, a deep love for Him & devotion to Him
2. Freedom from sin and the weights that so easily entangle us
3. Outpouring of the Holy Spirit to live the mission and boldly share the gospel
4. Praying for Fresh Vision & Passion for Paradox
Here’s how you can be involved:
Pray - You’ll receive daily prayer points and scripture that Antioch churches all over the world will be praying right here on the Daily Focus.
Fast - Ask God how He might have you participate by fasting (giving something up to focus more on God) in at least one way from January 10 - January 31. Here are some options:

  • Food: Consider a water fast, a fruit/vegetable fast, a juice fast or fast from coffee or sweets.

  • Media: Unplug from media, social media or one thing that may be distracting you from fixing your eyes on Jesus.

  • Lifestyle: Set aside time with Jesus in worship, Word and prayer. prayer walking/running; 22 days of listening/journaling

Worship - Join us for a night of worship and prayer to close the 22 days with the House of Prayer on Thursday, February 3 at 6pm at Paradox Church in Warren.

LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
CONNECT. Have a question, prayer request, thought, or story? Let us know at paradoxchurch.com/connect
SHARE. Know someone who would love the Daily Focus? Invite them to text “FOCUS” to (586) 200-6277.

Run the race with endurance today, and stay focused on Jesus.
Make it a Great One!
