21 Days of Fasting and Prayer: Let It Rain

At the heart of discipleship lies a profound and transformative truth that shapes our entire spiritual journey: it's fundamentally about relationship. The foundation of our faith journey isn't constructed upon a framework of rules or built on the bedrock of religious obligations, but rather emerges from a deep, intimate, and personal connection with God. As we embark together on this devotional journey, let's explore the rich and meaningful dimensions of what it truly means to seek God with our whole heart, mind, and soul.

Seek God Passionately

This reading plan is designed to help you grow in your understanding of fasting and prayer, drawing you closer to God and enabling you to experience spiritual breakthroughs and victories in every area of your life.

The Power of Combining Prayer and Fasting

Nowadays, you don't have to be a believer to fast. There are therapeutic fasts, intermittent fasts, sweet fasts... The list could go on and on. This reading plan deals with fasting as a gift from God for us. Because through renunciation we can gain a new perspective on our lives and get to know God in a completely new way.

Experience Fasting in a New Way

“You will seek me and find me when you seek me with your whole heart.” 
(Jeremiah 29:13)


This is a promise that God gave His people 2,600 years ago. It was a promise that the effort to pursue God would be rewarded with finding Him. For the next 21 days, we will pray and fast as we seek our Lord. He is our Promise Keeper.

21 Days of Fasting and Prayer Devotional: Send Revival

In this devotional, I will share why I chose social media as a form of fasting and four ways God revealed that it had become a distraction. As fasting from food serves to cleanse the body of its impurities, a fast from social media will help you return to the Lord, change your habits, and redirect your impulses to healthier choices.
