DAY 6 OF PRAYER AND FASTING

Day 6 – Surrender: Turning from Self-Reliance

May 15 to June 5th

Dear Bella Vista Church Family,



As we arrive at Day 6 of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting, we pause to recognize how easy it is to rely on our own strength. Whether in our daily decisions, ministry efforts, or personal struggles, self-reliance often feels natural—but it leads to burnout and frustration. God, however, offers us a better way: surrender. His Spirit provides what our strength cannot.



Today’s Focus: Surrender – Turning from Self-Reliance



Key Verse:

“‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty.”— Zechariah 4:6



Suggested Reading:

Zechariah 4



Prayer:

It’s not by might or power, but by Your Spirit. I surrender control to You.

Today, take a moment to ask yourself: Am I depending on God’s Spirit—or on my own strength? God’s power is perfected in our weakness, and His Spirit is more than enough for every situation we face. As you release the need to control or perform, trust that His Spirit will equip, lead, and sustain you.

Thank you for your continued faithfulness in this journey. He is shaping a people who depend on Him alone.



Serving Jesus with you,

Pastor Timothy Anderson
