21 DAYS OF PRAYER AND FASTING GUIDE
JANUARY 6th Day 1 – God Wants to Impact Your Life – Pray that He Will
God wants to change your life from the inside out! If you’re just hearing about Jesus in this moment, if your faith is brand new, or if you’ve spent a lifetime following Jesus, He wants to impact your life to then impact this world. As we embark on these 21 days of prayer and fasting ask God today what He wants to do in you. It could be life changing. Return often to what you feel He’s said and if you don’t hear yet, don’t worry! He’ll speak to you during these three weeks.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the Lord with all your heart; do not depend on your own understanding. Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take.
JANUARY 7th Day 2 – Lift the Needs You Have and Return to Them Throughout This Fast
Our God doesn’t leave us on our own. During good times and difficult times, He wants to be the one to make our paths straight. Whatever your need is right now, lift it up to Him so He can be the one to take care of it. He can be trusted! Look what He’s already done for us!
Psalm 55:22
Cast your burden on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never permit the righteous to be moved.
JANUARY 8th Day 3 – Pray that God Would Increase the Love in Your Heart.
You are loved! Deeply loved by the Creator of all things. Because you’re loved so greatly the proper response is to share that love with others. The world doesn’t need us to prove ourselves right or win the next debate. It simply needs us to show the love of Jesus. That love wins every time.
1 Corinthians 13:4-7
Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endure through every circumstance.
JANUARY 9th Day 4 – Pray for an Increase of Joy in Your Life
No matter where you are in your journey, you can never experience too much joy. Joy is a power we have as believers that will protect us even in the most difficult times. If you’re struggling to find any joy at all, we’re believing on your behalf that God will bring breakthrough in this area of your life today.
Romans 15:13
I pray that God, the source of hope, will fill you completely with joy and peace because you trust in him. Then you will overflow with confident hope through the power of the Holy Spirit.
JANUARY 10th Day 5 – Pray for Peace that Passes All Understanding
Peace is directly related to being close to God. The benefit of this closeness radiates out to our families, our friends and really anyone God places in our path. It can be felt in our responses, seen in our mindsets and is displayed in our creativity. Spend time experiencing His closeness this morning and ask Him for the peace that passes all understanding.
Philippians 4:7
And the peace that surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
JANUARY 11th Day 6 – Pray for an Increase in Your Faith in Him
Faith pleases God. When we believe in Him, He moves in powerful ways. Sometimes we get so caught up in what “level” of faith we have. We worry that God won’t act because we don’t “believe enough”. Our God is a GOOD GOD! He tells us that, even if we have very little faith, He will act on our behalf. Coming to Him in prayer shows you have even a little bit of faith. Take that little bit, offer it to Him and watch what He does with it.
Matthew 17:20
“You don’t have enough faith,” Jesus told them. “I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it would move. Nothing would be impossible.”
JANUARY 12th Day 7 – Pray for Personal Revival
God wants to revive your heart today! He wants to awaken the desires of your heart for Him and for the work He calls you to. There may be seasons of dryness, but we don’t need to be there. If we find ourselves there, we don’t need to remain there. If you want to experience personal revival here is where you start… in prayer. Pray and ask. “Lord renew a right spirit within me today. Revive my soul, in Jesus’ name.”
Psalm 51:10-12
Create in me a clean heart, O God. Renew a loyal spirit within me. Do not banish me from your presence, and don’t take your Holy Spirit from me. Restore to me the joy of your salvation and make me willing to obey you.
JANUARY 13th Day 8 – Pray for Joy in Our Church
We should be the most joy-filled people on planet earth. We have a God who has given Himself so that we may live. The world sees that. They see how we respond to the gift we have been given. Joy and Thanks, Worship and Praise are the proper response. Let’s pray today that Joy would fill the hearts of all who walk into Bethel’s doors.
1 Peter 1:8
You love him even though you have never seen him. Though you do not see him now, you trust him; and you rejoice with a glorious, inexpressible joy.
JANUARY 14th Day 9 – Pray That God Would Use Bethel to Impact Ottawa
The church has many functions. It meets the need in the community, it praises and worships God, it edifies and it teaches. One of the greates
