Leading people to become fully devoted followers of Jesus
We set aside 21 days every year to fast and pray for breakthrough in our families, church, city and nation.
Intentional Bible reading, focused prayer and specific fasting align us with God’s heart, allowing us to hear Him clearly and respond to His will in obedience. Join us as we seek God in prayer and believe for Him to move in powerful ways.
To guide you through this journey of consecration, petition and intercession, we created a resource with more information about prayer and fasting, with daily Scripture readings and prayer prompts.
You can download and print a copy yourself for free, or you can purchase a printed copy.
Week 1: 9–15 February
This week, as we confess and lay things down, we consecrate ourselves again and make room for God to meet us, renew us, and prepare us for all that lies ahead.

Prayer doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s a conversation with God who knows you fully and loves you deeply.
P
Pause
Be still, and know that I am God. (Psalm 46:10)
Take a deep breath. Slow your mind. Allow your posture to shift from the busyness of your world to the stillness in His presence. In the quiet, reflect on His goodness.
R
Reflect
Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! (Philippians 4:4)
Allow gratitude to fill your heart for who God is and all He has done. Reflect on the answers to prayer you are living in right now. Think about the answers to prayer yet to come and thank God that He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
A
Ask
Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. (Philippians 4:6)
God cares deeply about you and all the details in your life. Take time to ask Him for what you need.
Y
Yield
God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble. (James 4:6)
God wants us to trust Him. Take time to surrender afresh. Follow His leading in prayer and listen for His voice. Write down any thoughts or verses come to mind during this time.
When we fast, we awaken our body and soul to its deep yearning for life with the Father.
