21 Days of Prayer and Fasting 2026

Beginning on January 2nd (not the 1st), we will begin 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. It is an opportunity for our entire church family to join one another in prayer daily, devoting our first 3 weeks of the new year in devotion to God. You can join in any time during these days.

Each week, on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays only, we will host a prayer call on Zoom from 6:15-6:45AM, where a brief devotional will be shared and we will have breakout groups to pray for each other. We will end by 6:45AM to ensure we are able to get back to our families and go to work. You will receive the Zoom link when you register.

On Saturdays during these 21 days, we will have an in-person prayer gathering from 7:30-8:30AM at the church to pray. We will have a chapel-like service where we sing songs and pray individually or in small groups of two or three people.

Upon registration, you will receive the Zoom link and the 21 Days of Prayer devotional guide will be emailed to you in late December. Please check your spam folder if you don't see it in your inbox.

WHY FASTING?
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. Remember, your personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and, most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.

Types of Fast

• Complete Fast: In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
• Selective Fast: This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
• Partial Fast: This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00am to 3:00pm, or from sunup to sundown.
• Soul Fast: This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
