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.”

21 Days | Day 11: Supernatural Results Are on Their Way!

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

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.

21 Days | Day 9: Nearness

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.

21 Days | Day 8: The Kind of Fasting God Honors

READ: Matthew 6:16-18; 2 Corinthians 5:9; Galatians 1:10

 

MEDITATE: In Matthew 6 Jesus teaches the proper way to fast. It should be done in private and focused on God rather than done in public and looking for approval from man. Our motives for fasting are important. Spend time today allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal to you your heart and motives for fasting.

 

PRAY: Heavenly Father, search my heart and reveal to me my true motives. Help me to center them on you rather than outward approval from others.

21 Days | Day 6: All About Appetite

READ: Genesis 25:19-34; Hebrews 12:16

 

MEDITATE: Esau traded his birthright to Jacob for food to satisfy his hunger. Esau focused on the immediate, while Jacob sought the future. Sometimes we make short-term decisions without having a long-term view in mind. God wants us to keep our eyes on the eternal, what truly matters.

 

PRAY: God, help me to make decisions with a long-term and eternal view in mind. Give me spiritual vision, godly wisdom, and perseverance to choose.

21 Days | Day 5: Just Like Us

READ: James 5:16-18; Hebrews 4:16; Acts 10:34

 

MEDITATE: God answers prayers. While our prayers may not be like Elijah’s, God wants us to spend time with him and honestly share our requests, but, are your prayers more of a “to do list” for God? Or are they authentic conversations with your Lord and Savior, who wants what’s best for you?

 

PRAY: God, at times I come to you more with my requests than to spend time with you. As my Heavenly Father, I know you want more for me than I can imagine. As I spend time with you, change my heart from my desires to what you desire for me and my life.
