Prayer and Fasting Sermon Series Ideas and Graphics

A prayer series lives or dies on what happens between Sundays. The message sets it up and the daily guide's what people actually use.

These ideas assume a companion piece. Plan the daily content and the series art as one job rather than as a sermon that's got an afterthought stapled to it.

The work in the gallery is ours. We’ve designed 19 approved pieces that match this topic for churches around the country, and you’re seeing the most recent of them.

The ideas

6 Prayer and fasting series to steal

  1. 01

    21 Days

    A three-week prayer and fasting push, usually in January. The daily guide's the deliverable and the weekend messages hold it together.

  2. 02

    Teach Us to Pray

    A week per line of the Lord's Prayer. Simple, repeatable, and it hands a new believer a place to start that isn't intimidating.

  3. 03

    The Prayer Room

    A series built around opening a physical prayer space in your building. The room needs signage and a guide, and both of those'll outlast the series.

  4. 04

    Ask

    Four weeks on unanswered prayer and what to do with it. It earns trust with people who'd quit praying years ago.

  5. 05

    Listen

    A quieter series on silence and hearing from God. It works in Lent or in a summer slot when the calendar's got room.

  6. 06

    Prayer Walk

    Weeks tied to praying through your own neighborhoods, with a map and routes people can take. The map is the piece that gets used.

Real work

Prayer and fasting graphics we designed

Approved pieces from real churches. Title slides, promo sets, print and apparel, at each piece's true proportions because we don't crop work to fit a grid.

Planning

What To Build and When

The daily guide is a real design job, not a text file. Whether it's print, a PDF or a daily text, somebody's building twenty-one pieces of it before day one.

Give the prayer room its own signage. A space that hasn't got wayfinding gets used by the staff and nobody else.

Every other topic we’ve built is on the sermon series ideas hub.

Questions Churches Ask

When do most churches run prayer and fasting?

The first three weeks of January, though a Lent or a fall slot works when January is already crowded.

What should a daily prayer guide include?

A short passage, a few sentences of direction and one thing to pray. Anything longer won't get opened past about day five.

How long should a prayer series run?

Three or four weeks, matched to whatever the daily commitment is.

Want the artwork handled?

Tell us the series and the date. Your Squad builds the slides, the social set and the print, and you'll spend that week on the message instead of on the artwork.
