21 Days of Prayer & Fasting ✞ Prayers that matter ✞

Join  us this January for…

Get Started

This year for 21 Days of prayer we are reading together the first 21 sections of the book” a small book for the anxious heart by Edward T. Welch. We will be reading one section a day- and we encourage you to keep reading the rest even after 21 days! 

Get your copy of the book on amazon here!

Process:

1. Prepare: Begin with prayer. Ask God to lead you as you read today’s devotion.

2. Read: Read today’s devotion, then identify one section that stands out. As you read, be open to how God leads you. Is there a word, phrase or concept that stands out to you?

3. Contemplate: Offer your reflections back to God in prayer. Give thanks to Him and ask for guidance:“God, how should I respond to what I’ve read today?”

4. Respond: What is God leading you to do with what you have read? Ask for God’s help to apply this to your life.

Fasting

Beginning: 

Fasting is simply abstaining from something you normally enjoy in order to focus your attention on God, to make space for God. Fasting reminds us how dependent on God we are. Fasts in the Bible are often done when preparing for an important or difficult task or decision; when seeking God's guidance; for deepening prayer.
