21 Days | Day 20: Mountains Will Move

READ: Exodus 33:7-10

 

MEDITATE: The Israelites had been unfaithful to God; however, Moses goes to the “tent of meeting” and God is there, and meets with Moses. Despite the Israelites’ worship of an idol and false god, God accepts their contrite repentance and maintains his covenant with them.

 

PRAY: Lord, I sin and at times fall short of perfection, but I thank you for the grace you extend to me through Jesus Christ. Thank you for your continued presence and mercy. Will you move the mountains in my life for your glory?

21 Days | Day 19: God Will Do More!

READ: Nehemiah 1:1-11; Ephesians 3:20-21

 

MEDITATE: Have you ever prayed BEFORE you pray? God desires to meet our needs, but have you ever lowered your expectations of what God really wants to do for you? As we near the end of this time of fasting, ask God how He would have you pray about those mountains that need to be moved in your own life. It’s possible that God has plans to do so much more than you ever imagined!

 

PRAY: God, I humble myself before you, and ask that you direct my prayers. Realign my desires according to your plan, your will, and your purpose for my life.

21 Days | Day 18: Keep on Asking!

READ: Matthew 7:7-8; Matthew 6:33; Romans 8:32

 

MEDITATE: God desires to give His children good gifts, but his plan does not necessarily follow our timeline. He knows what we need and when we need it. If you are still waiting for an answer to a prayer, don’t give up! Keep asking, keep seeking, keep knocking. Rest assured that God will answer in due time.

 

PRAY: Heavenly Father, I may have doubts when an answer doesn’t come right away. Help me to place my trust in you and in your perfect timing, confident that the answer will come.

21 Days | Day 17: Beginning with Gratitude

READ: Psalm 100:4; Psalm 107:1; Psalm 143:5; Psalm 77:11

 

MEDITATE: What if you were intentional about making a list and reminding yourself daily of all the things God has done for you? How might that change your perspective? When hard times come, take out that list and remind yourself that God is always good.

 

PRAY: I thank you, God, for all that you have done for me. Help me to shift my focus away from the problem at hand and back to the One who always has the answer.

21 Days | Day 16: Seeing and Seizing

READ: Ephesians 5:15-17; Colossians 4:5-6; Psalm 32:8

 

MEDITATE: Have you missed an opportunity and regretted it? Have you settled for something “good” when God had something even better? Allow God to guide your steps so that you may recognize an opportunity and seize it when the time is right.

 

PRAY: Help me, Lord, to move past the regret of missed opportunities. Open my eyes to see new opportunities as they come and to make the most of them.

21 Days | Day 15: Great Expectations!

READ: Jeremiah 29:11; Psalm 27:13; Philippians 4:19; Ephesians 3:20-21;

1 Corinthians 2:9

 

MEDITATE: These verses are some of the “greatest hits” of encouragement in the Bible, but each author was writing out of extremely difficult situations. Do you believe God will supply all your needs “in Christ Jesus”? Or are you struggling with a lack of faith? 

 

PRAY: God help me not to become familiar with what I think you can do. Help me believe that you want to AND can do “far more abundantly” than all that I ask or think. May I live by faith with great expectations in You.

21 Days | Day 13: All the Strength You Need

READ: Psalm 62:11; Psalm 28:7; Philippians 4:13; Isaiah 40:29

 

MEDITATE: Fasting intentionally makes us weak so that we may become strong. Through our weakness, we realize our reliance on Christ as well as other believers. We are not designed to go through life on our own, but to bear one another’s burdens.

 

PRAY: I acknowledge my weakness, God, and my inability to do this on my own. Help me to ask for help. I receive your strength and the strength from my fellow believers.

21 Days | Day 12: God Is Working

MEDITATE: Fasting is hard. It’s a discipline to sacrifice the physical for the spiritual. Daniel was obedient regardless of the earthly opposition he faced and God was faithfully doing battle on Daniel’s behalf in the spiritual realm.

 

PRAY: Lord, I know you are working on my behalf. I trust that you are unlocking things because of my prayer and fasting. Remind me that I am not fighting against “flesh and blood,” but partnering with you to battle against evil authorities in the “heavenly places.”
