Praying & Fasting Wednesday During Lunch
Highland, as we begin 2026, I look forward to continue focusing upon making Highland Community Church a house of prayer. As we discussed Sunday, each Wednesday of the month (starting today), we will pray and fast through one of our Four Strands of Stewardship.
The four strands are:
1. Heart
2. Home
3. Highland
4. North Highland
Today, we will focus our praying and fasting on the first strand: Our Hearts.
“Keep your heart with all vigilance, for from it flow the springs of life.
Put away from you crooked speech, and put devious talk far from you.
Let your eyes look directly forward, and your gaze be straight before you.
Ponder the path of your feet; then all your ways will be sure.
Do not swerve to the right or to the left; turn your foot away from evil” (Proverbs 4:23-27).
Highland, as we pray and fast, we begin with keeping of our hearts. Considering this passage above, may our ‘springs of life’ overflow with the Lord’s Holy Spirit! May that stream-of-holiness direct our gaze, saturate our tongues and continually create a right spirit within our hearts!
As we seek the Lord today, ask the Lord for an outpouring of His Holy Spirit! In so doing, our desire is to allow the Holy Spirit to have full authority to “guard our hearts” from evil and exalt His holy name. May this be the heart cry of those that make up Highland Community Church.
The prayer guide that was presented on Sunday is attached below. Please click the link to find a few passages of Scripture that will lend themselves toward stewarding our hearts as we fast and pray today.
