21 Days of Prayer for a Disciple-Making District – NWIL
Prayer Challenge – March 1 – 22, 2026
WEEK ONE: THE CALL TO BE WITH JESUS

Focus: Personal surrender and intimacy with the Savior.

Day 5 — AN UNDIVIDED HEART

Scripture: 2 Chronicles 16:9 — “For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to Him.”

Today’s Devotional: God is not looking for the most gifted or the most influential; He is scanning the horizon for the available. The Hebrew word for "fully committed" implies a heart that is at peace and undivided. A divided heart is a weak heart—it is pulled in too many directions by the world's demands. But a heart that has settled the question of "Who is my Lord?" is a heart that God backs with His own supernatural strength. Imagine the power of a district where every member had an undivided heart. We wouldn't just do "church"; we would be an unstoppable force of God’s grace.

Response & Prayer Guide:

  • For Your Heart: Ask God to point out the "rivals" in your heart—hobbies, money, or ego—that are competing for your commitment.
  • For Our District: Pray for a spirit of radical commitment to the Great Commission across all our 50 churches.

Church Prayer List:

  • East Peoria – Pastor Mark Abbott
  • Ellisville – Pastor Dean Potts

The Challenge & Next Steps:

  1. Commitment: Write out a personal "Statement of Devotion" today (e.g., "Lord, today I decide that You are my first priority"). Say it out loud.
  2. Intercede: Pray for Pastor Mark and Pastor Dean. Ask God to strengthen them for the specific mission fields they are working in today.
  3. Worship: Listen to "Lord, I Give You My Heart" by Hillsong Worship. Freshly, genuinely, with exuberance, Give Him Your Heart!
  4. Pray Boldly for yourself. Ask God to give you a heart that is truly so “all in” that you no longer fear the cost of following Him.

PRAYER: O God, You search the earth for hearts that are fully committed, and today we ask that You would find such a heart in us. We identify the rivals—our money, our pride, and our hobbies—and we push them aside to make You our absolute priority. Strengthen our district with Your supernatural power as we offer You an undivided, "all-in" devotion that fears no cost.
