PERSONAL PRAYER
Read Isaiah 58
Worshipping God involves more than observing an outward ritual; there must be an inward obedience and submission to the Lord. True fasting will lead to humility before God and
ministry to others. God is delighted when we delight in Him.

Reflect
• Is your worship merely an outward show without any inward reality?
• What are the obstacles you face in delighting in God?
• What concrete action would you take to bless those in need?

Pray
• Covenanters to worship God in spirit and in truth (John 4:24), with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind; and love your neighbor as yourself (Luke 10:27).
• Worship God through your concrete act of blessing someone in need as you do it for Him.

WATCHMAN PRAYER
Church Core Value: Brokenness
We value Brokenness centred upon the Way of God.


Scripture: Psalm 51:17

Our Dream
For Covenanters to know that God always looks at the heart and have “a broken spirit and a contrite heart” before God. To know that the Lord Jesus Christ has called us to die to
self and follow Him. That we will live out a discipleship of humility, brokenness and avoid the performance trap. We’ll be neither proud of our accomplishments, nor plagued with
a sense of inadequacy and insecurity. To respond with graciousness and gratitude when praised by people, but seek only the approval of God, please Him and honour His name.

Three Greatest Prayer Needs
1. Covenanters will live out humility and brokenness through personal prayer and worship before God, even amid major failures or setbacks in life.
2. Covenanters will practise sincere confession of sins regularly, and receive God’s forgiveness and cleansing on account of Christ’s perfect work on the Cross.
3. Covenanters will seek the approval of God and not the applause of people in everything that they do.
