21 Days of Prayer and Fasting

Fasting is mentioned 70 times in Scripture and is practiced for different purposes such as seeking guidance or wisdom, praying for breakthrough, or seeking protection or deliverance.  Matthew 6:16 says, “When you fast” not “If you fast,” which shows us fasting was a normal activity for the disciples. There are many different types of fasts such as: liquid fast, Daniel fast (primarily fruits and vegetables), forgoing certain foods like sugar or fasting on certain days or for certain meals, or it could even be a media or social media fast. We will have additional resources about fasting at the Information Center. We believe God will lead you to the type fast that is best for you!

As you lay down certain pleasures, we encourage you to take extra time to seek our superior pleasure through prayer, journaling, and Bible Study. There are many Bible Reading Plans available on YouVersion, which can be a great resource for your devotional time. James 4:8 says, “Draw close to God and He will draw close to you” so we believe God will meet you in a significant way as you take this time to intentionally seek Him.
