21 Days Prayer & Fasting "Align in Promise"Sample

MADE TO GLORIFY GOD


Have you ever felt lost or uncertain about your life's direction? After finishing my bachelor’s degree, I went through a small personal crisis as I began questioning my life’s purpose. I had just been rejected from the program I needed to complete my teaching license for elementary education. At that time, I was working at a daycare, but deep inside, I felt I wasn’t where I hoped to be. I often compared my life to my friends, who seemed to have found their paths, while I felt left behind.

Looking back, I realize that I had built my identity around career, status, and achievements. I was caught up in things that were temporary and fleeting. Yet, that difficult moment opened up an opportunity to serve alongside Ps. Herman Ong on a mission trip to Africa. That experience changed my perspective—from being self-centered to focusing on Jesus and His heart for others.

The first part of 1 Peter 2:9 reminds us that we have been redeemed and made heirs of God’s Kingdom. None of us is here by accident; each one of us carries a unique blueprint from God. We were formed in the womb according to His will and purpose. Understanding who we are in Christ is crucial because it reveals how deeply we are loved by the Creator of heaven and earth—the Author of our lives.

The second part of the verse calls us to live as God’s holy people, leaving behind our old selves and being renewed to reflect His character. We were made to glorify God through our daily lives—to honor Him through our choices, words, attitudes, and service. Every day is an opportunity to walk with Him: to pray for others, share His Word, and bear His image in the world.

As we spend time in prayer, fasting, and fellowship with God, we cultivate a grateful heart and continually ask: “Lord, how can I be Your hands and feet today? To whom do You want me to pour out Your love?”
