Fasting is a spiritual discipline designed to align our will with God’s. We’re fasting together in order to deepen our relationship with God – to know Him better – and to ensure our plans and pursuits are led by Him. Your fast should challenge, but it’s very important to know your body, your options, and, most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. Prayer and fasting go hand in hand.

In scripture we God’s people fasting to strengthen their prayer life, to seek God’s guidance, to express grief, to seek deliverance or protection, to express repentance and a return to God. When you fast with the right motives, it is a physical expression of humility before God just as kneeling or prostrating yourself in prayer can reflect humility before Him. Fasting just to fast won’t do anything except reduce your waistline a little; fasting with a goal, a purpose to grow in your knowledge, understanding and love of God will supercharge your year.

If you’re able, we encouraged you to participate in a juice fast during these 7 days, consuming liquids from fruit or vegetables only. There are different types of fasts you can consider such as a partial-fasts included when someone fasts one meal a day, or from a certain type of food. You may need to consider the Daniel Fast or a liquid protein fast, media fast or even an activity fast. The type of fast is less important than denying yourself to some extent for the purpose of getting more of God.

If you sense God has more for your life, this time of Prayer and Fasting is a great place to start believing Him for all that He has for you. As you practice seeking Him first, He will move on your behalf like never before. You will see the power of prayer impact your relationships, work, family, and every area of your life – you’ll make a difference. We’re praying for you as you consider this ancient spiritual habit.
