As always, we are excited and expectant as we approach 21 Days of Prayer. Over the last few years, this special time of prayer at the start of the year has been amazingly precious and impactful for us as a community of believers.

21 Days of Prayer, in January, affirms a principle we seek to hold to at CLM, at all times – to 'Pray First'! Prayer is not a last resort but our first thought.

Please see below for some key details; to download this year’s 21 Days of Prayer Booklet and Prayer Guide for 2026; to register your Prayer Triplet; and for other information, including Prayer Meeting times

 
 
 
 

Resources

To help us make the most of this period, we have once again created two separate booklets, but the format is slightly different this year:

  • Firstly, we have created a ‘21 Days Prayer Guide’. This year we are excited to be focussing on the Psalms. Each day has a specially chosen Psalm and 'focus verse', a devotional thought and a starter for prayer. We trust these simple devotions will be helpful and encouraging.. The Prayer Guide also contains important information on Prayer ‘Triplets’, Prayer Meeting times, Information on how to ‘prepare well’, some useful details on Fasting, and much more.

  • Secondly, we have created a separate ‘Prayer Guide’ for 2026, which will be a helpful tool throughout the whole year. In this booklet you will find dates for 2026 for CLM and united prayer meetings, along with a section on fasting (a useful tool to accompany our times of Prayer and Fasting through the year) and also our Prayer Shield for 2026. CLM's Prayer Shield is a daily prayer guide that covers the ministries, mission and people of CLM in prayer throughout the year.

Physical copies of the booklet will be available in church from Sunday 21 December, but you can also access a digital copy by using the links below.

In addition to this, we have also got a special guide for our CLM Kids. Physical copies will be distributed on Sundays, or you can access a digital copy using the link below.

 What’s happening during 21 Days of Prayer?

We are encouraging everyone to…

 

Create a Prayer ‘Triplet’

This simply means agreeing with two other people, to be in regular contact (ideally daily) for encouragement (maybe by text/WhatsApp etc) and to find some times to pray together – whether in person, via Zoom, WhatsApp video, or whatever works for you, even if just for a few minutes.

If you need to add others in, and a ‘three’ becomes a ‘four’ or even a ‘five’, it’s no problem!

Here are some steps that we are asking everyone to take:

  1. Approach a couple of people who you could 'journey with' through 21 Days and ask them to be in your triplet.

  2. Set up a WhatsApp group or find another way to stay connected.

  3. Agree together how and when you can pray as a small group during the 21 Days.

  4. Register your ‘triplet’ using the link below

  5. Encourage one another with Bible verses; worship songs; and by agreeing in prayer for specific matters.

Gather in Groups

If you are part of a Life Group, Student Connect, CLM Youth or Synergy at CLM, we encourage you to prioritise meeting together and being connected with your group during this special time of prayer.

Some groups will join with evening prayer meetings, and others will meet together as usual. Please check in with your group leader to find out what’s happening.

Fast in some way

Prayer and Fasting is a powerful Biblical spiritual discipline which can deeply impact you as you set aside these weeks to seek God. For further information and guidance on fasting, please refer to page 8 onwards in the Prayer Guide or see the articles below.

 

Additional Resources on Fasting

Although the CLM 21 Days of Prayer Guide has a section on fasting, we would also recommend the following articles as good further reading, especially if you are considering undertaking a longer fast, or simply want to know more:
