21 Days | Day 18: Keep on Asking!
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
Thursday Feb 01, 2024
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
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
Wednesday Jan 31, 2024
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
Tuesday Jan 30, 2024
Tuesday Jan 30, 2024
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!
Monday Jan 29, 2024
Monday Jan 29, 2024
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
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
Saturday Jan 27, 2024
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
Friday Jan 26, 2024
Friday Jan 26, 2024
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.”

21 Days | Day 11: Supernatural Results Are on Their Way!
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
Thursday Jan 25, 2024
READ: Daniel 10:1-21
MEDITATE: When you experience spiritual weakness, don’t give up! God is working today in ways you may not see. Embrace the weakness, knowing that it serves as a reminder of our complete dependence on God. Allow him to strengthen you spiritually and be encouraged in knowing that supernatural results are on the way.
PRAY: God, when I am so tired that I want to give up, give me the strength and courage to stand on your Word believing in faith that even when I can’t see it, you are working.

21 Days | Day 10: The Certainty of Change
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
Wednesday Jan 24, 2024
READ: Acts 13:2; Exodus 34:28; Matthew 4:2
MEDITATE: Through prayer and fasting, God gave Saul (Paul) and Barnabas a new mission. He gave Moses the Ten Commandments. Jesus found strength and power to initiate his public ministry and start his journey to the cross. Fasting can precede supernatural change, empowerment, and mission. To what is God calling You today?
PRAY: Lord open my spiritual eyes, ears, and heart to what you are saying to me today. Whether it’s a new word, mission, or ministry, may I receive it, accept it, and obediently walk in it that I might honor you.

Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
Tuesday Jan 23, 2024
READ: Matthew 9:14-15; James 4:8
MEDITATE: Just as our physical bodies crave food and drink, our spiritual bodies hunger and thirst for God’s presence. Draw near to God today, and he will meet you where you are.
PRAY: God, there is a hunger and thirst in my life that only you can satisfy. Help me draw near to you and find all that I need in your presence.
