LIFE IN CHRIST CHURCH

Daniel Fast

21 DAYS OF PRAYER & FASTING

JANUARY 12 - FEBRUARY 1, 2025

As we begin a new year at Life in Christ Church, we want to make it a priority to seek God first in prayer and fasting. We do this corporately as a church through the 21-day Daniel Fast. Together, we faithfully seek God first, trusting His power alone to create a lasting impact in and through our lives.

Fasting is voluntarily going without food - or any other regularly enjoyed, good gift from God - for the sake of a spiritual purpose. Jesus invites His followers to fast, and we fast in this life because we believe in the life to come. We fast from what we can see and taste, because we have tasted and seen the goodness of God and are desperately hungry for more of Him. So, take a step of faith, pray without ceasing, and watch God move in your life, our church, and the world! (Matthew 6:6-18, Matthew 9:14-15, Luke 18:9-14, Acts 27:33-37, Nehemiah 9:1-3)

The resources below are designed to help us walk together for these 21 days. We encourage you to use this resource as a guide on what to pray for each day. You'll also find some helpful tips on prayer, fasting, and the DanielFast.

Thank you for joining together as we seek God intentionally for 21 days!
