The

Bold
Prayer
Challenge
 Let us therefore

approach the throne of

grace with boldness, so

that we may receive

mercy and find grace to

help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:16
 Welcome!
I am so honored that you have decided to join me for the next few days on how
to truly grasp the power of BOLD prayer!

Perhaps you are a bit like me when it comes to praying. When I share my heart
with the Lord, I know that He hears my desperate cries.
All throughout Scripture we are encouraged to come to Christ with our burdens
and frustrations.

We may have heard many sermons on how we can take our concerns to the
cross, and leave them at the feet of our Savior. Although I know He hears me, I
sometimes doubt if He will really answer my requests.

Have you ever in the back of your mind wondered..."Will God really come
through?" "Are my prayers too petty?" "Should I even be asking for this?" There
are times when I have tried to conjure up all the confidence I can muster, but I
still find myself doubting whether or not I am wasting my time...have you ever
been there?

If you have, then you are in the right place! The B.O.L.D prayer challenge is a
way for us as Christian women to stop doubting the sovereignty of God in the
midst of our situations, and to believe that we can call on our Abba Father with
bold, audacious prayers.

Hebrews 4:16 says,

"Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with boldness, so that we may
receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need."

In this four day challenge, we will look at the prayers of people from
the Bible who were brave enough to pray bold prayers--
and saw the Lord work in powerful ways in their lives.

So let's dive in together with an open heart and mind, and ask as the
disciples did: "Lord, teach us to pray!"
 Day One: Bold Blessings

Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, "Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge
my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be
free from pain."

 Day Two: Hannah's Prayer

Then Hannah prayed and said: “My heart rejoices in the Lord; in the Lord my
horn is lifted high. My mouth boasts over my enemies, for I delight in your
deliverance. “There is no one holy like the Lord;there is no one besides you;
there is no Rock like our God.
1 Samuel 2:1-2

 Day Three: Looking Expectantly

At the time of sacrifice, the prophet Elijah stepped forward and prayed: “Lord,
the God of Abraham, Isaac and Israel, let it be known today that you are God
in Israel and that I am your servant and have done all these things at your
command. Answer me, Lord, answer me, so these people will know that you,
Lord, are God, and that you are turning their hearts back again.”
1 Kings 18:36-37

 Day Four: Divinely Inspired
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of
Jesus, and with his brothers. When the day of Pentecost came, they were all together in one
place. Suddenly a sound like the blowing of a violent wind came from heaven and filled the
whole house where they were sitting. They saw what seemed to be tongues of fire that separa
ted and came to rest on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to
speak in other tongues as the Spirit enabled them.
Acts 1:14; 2:1-4
