As we pray together, we trust God will do more than we can ask or imagine.

 

Father, thank You for inviting us into this threshold moment. We believe You have placed us here — in this time, in this region — for such a time as this. Align our hearts with Yours and fill us with faith and expectancy for what will come. Open our eyes to see Your kingdom breaking through in lives transformed, churches strengthened, and our region renewed. May every gift bring You glory and advance Your work on earth as it is in heaven (Esther 4:14; Matthew 6:10)

May faith rise across the Bay Area as Your Holy Spirit fills and empowers us. Stir up trust in You and awaken the gifts and vision You’ve placed in Your people. Come, Holy Spirit — activate hearts to join the work You call us to. (Hebrews 11:1)

Jesus, we long to see Your Word and Your Gospel proclaimed — in our city, across the Bay Area, throughout our nation, and to the ends of the earth. Awaken our hearts to Your truth and fill us with grace as we live it out. May there be a quiet but powerful revival stirring — lives turning to You, hope rising, and Your presence felt in every place (Matthew 28:19-20; Habakkuk 2:14)

Jesus, You love Your Church and long for us to be one. We pray for unity of heart, mind, and spirit within our church and with the churches we partner with. Bless them, and let our unity prepare the way for revival. Fill us with Your Spirit and make us one, just as You prayed. (John 17:21)

Lord, transform our hearts through generosity. Teach us to give with open hands, believing that generosity begets generosity. Break the grip of greed and self-reliance, and plant a deeper trust in You as our provider. Let a fire of generosity grow within us and spread to those around us, so we release resources for Your Kingdom work together. Remind us that as we give, You are working on every side — providing, multiplying, and transforming lives for Your glory. (1 Timothy 6:17–19)

Lord, thank You for calling us as one body at Echo to lead people to say yes to Jesus and passionately follow Him. Awaken us to live purposefully — refusing apathy and choosing passion and zeal for You. Help us pray boldly, serve faithfully, give generously, and share Your love with our neighbors, friends, and co-workers. Use us to accomplish the good works You prepared for us. (Ephesians 2:10)

Thank You for every good and perfect gift You have already provided. We praise You for the vision to trust You for a God-sized miracle of $5 million — not for our glory, but Yours. Teach us to steward every dollar with wisdom and integrity so that it brings You honor. Remind us, as in the parable of the talents, that when we use well what You’ve entrusted to us, You multiply it for Your Kingdom. Stir every heart and every family to give as You lead — not equal amounts, but equal sacrifice — so that together we see Your provision and celebrate Your faithfulness.  (Matthew 25:14–30)

We don’t take for granted the gift of the spaces You’ve entrusted Echo with: North San Jose, Fremont, and Sunnyvale. Go before us as we prepare for permits, construction, revitalization, and every initiative You’ve placed in our hands. Remind us that we don’t walk alone; You are making the way. Thank You for Your provision and for weaving every detail together. We trust You as the One who goes before us. (Proverbs 3:5–6)

God, we thank You for the spaces You’ve entrusted to us — places where Your presence will transform lives. Thank You that children, students, young adults, families, and multiple generations will encounter You and be forever changed by Your grace. Keep drawing those who need to hear the hope of Jesus to Echo, and let us walk with them as they grow in faith and follow You. We praise You for the privilege of making disciples and seeing lives renewed. (Matthew 28:19–20)

Thank You for the work You are doing through Echo Compassion — locally, regionally, and around the world. Strengthen those serving our neighbors in need, bring hope and healing to broken places, and let more people encounter Your love. Raise new churches across the Bay Area so every community can experience the Gospel’s transforming power. And bless our global partners as they bring light and life to their nations. Use our prayers, our generosity, and our lives so Your kingdom advances here and to the ends of the earth.  (Isaiah 61:1)

God, we long to do this with You. Awaken the next generation to know You, experience Your love and grace, and be transformed by Your presence. Use us to pour into them with encouragement and truth, reminding them they are deeply loved and created with purpose. Help us guide and teach them well, and activate the gifts You’ve placed in them to build Your Kingdom and bring You glory. (Ephesians 3:20–21)

Lord, we seal all these prayers in Your name and ask that the enemy would have no place to steal or disrupt what You are doing. Where confession is needed, lead us to it, and consecrate these prayers by Your Holy Spirit. Activate every gift needed in our church for Your glory. As we pray, lead, and intercede, give us courage and remind our souls that You are sovereign, the God of the universe. Thank You, Jesus, for making the way for us to come before You. May Your Spirit empower and bring these prayers to life.
