PRAYER

Father, I can relate to Jacob in striving, manipulating, scheming, denying, and spinning half-truths to those around me to get my way.

February 2026 Prayer Themes

Re-digging our Spiritual Inheritance in ECC.

Scripture: Genesis 26:18-26

The biblical narrative is found in Genesis 26 when God gave Isaac a geographical location to live in and a promise of a blessed life, including an inheritance for his descendants because of the covenant God made with Abraham, his father.

Isaac, like his father Abraham obeyed God and was blessed, probably because of his obedience. However, the story doesn’t end here as there arose a problem. Isaac’s inheritance (wells of water) necessary for his family’s livelihood and business had been stopped by the Philistines and filled with earth [dirt] Genesis 26:15.

Isaac had a choice!! Should he contend and reclaim his inheritance or should he stay small and comfortable. After all, he wasn’t lacking in any way. Isaac understood the wells were part of his generational inheritance. Isaac and his servants began the task of re-digging to claim back what God had promised his lineage.

He was relentless. He contended for the wells with the people of the land and the third time God made room for him at “Rehoboth” which means enlargement and fruitfulness.

This month we will be praying around weekly themes and naming our spiritual wells in preparation, prayer, presence, and power as we align in what God is birthing in our time.

Theme: Models of courage to inspire His Church

We learn from other believers who have overcome struggles, this can inspire us to be bold in the face of our own trials. However, Jesus’ response to the prospect of His death on the cross is our greatest model of courage. He understood fear but he accepted the troubles ahead because he knew he was accomplishing God’s plan for him. Courage does not always mean fearlessness. Courage is stepping out in faith despite our fear and trusting God to fulfil his plan for us as we faithfully trust and follow him.  

Scripture:

1 Samuel 17:32 (David)
Acts 27:21-22,25 (Paul)
Job 11:18 (Hope builds courage)

Theme: Courage to deal with life’s obstacles and challenges

The more convinced that we are that we can overcome an obstacle, the more boldly we will attack it. If we are convinced that God will help us overcome our obstacles, then we will be even more courageous in moving ahead. This conviction that God will help us comes mostly from reading and studying God’s Word, where we discover His desire and power to accomplish great things through us.

Scripture:

Deuteronomy 20:1
Psalm 27:1
Isaiah 41:10
Matthew 19:26
