As believers, we have the most reliable source for life’s toughest questions. Scripture is clear that God desires to answer our prayers – not just some prayers, but all of our prayers.

He wants to provide wisdom, direction, and guidance for anything we need. We are invited to approach God with confidence and boldness, believing He will answer, and this truth is covered throughout the pages of Scripture.

One of the most frequent responses to the question of what our world needs today is peace. From wars to tragic shootings to an unstable economy, the opportunity to allow anxiety and fear to rule our lives is very real.

In fact, studies show that more people are experiencing increased anxiety and worry, which is leading to a host of physical conditions and illnesses. The Bible shows that we were designed for something much better: peace.

Have you ever found yourself in a place where it’s been so loud that you couldn’t hear the person you were talking to? Perhaps a concert for one of your favorite bands or a busy airport with constant announcements over the intercom. Regardless of the setting, the more noise in our surroundings, the more difficult it is to hear someone speaking to us.

The same thing can happen when it comes to hearing from God. It may not be the physical environment that limits our hearing but rather the place we find ourselves spiritually. This can be a dangerous place because hearing God is a critical component of walking in His plans and purposes for our lives

Discover how God is committed to your journey through your own desires, His divine equipping, the gentle guidance of the Holy Spirit, and the personal privilege of prayer. Join us as we explore what it truly means to become the person that God uniquely created you to be.

During these 21 days of prayer and fasting, God is going to speak to you. God speaks through His revealed Word, the Bible, but He also speaks through divine revelation. There is no doubt that God wants to bring powerful answers to the things you are praying for, but He also wants to reveal things to you through this fast.

Scriptures

Proverbs 29:18 (NLT)When people do not accept divine guidance, they run wild.

John 14:26 (NLT)But when the Father sends the Advocate as my representative—that is, the Holy Spirit—he will teach you everything and will remind you of everything I have told you.

John 16:13-14 (NLT)When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own but will tell you what he has heard. He will tell you about the future. He will bring me glory by telling you whatever he receives from me.

Proverbs 25:2 (ESV)It is the glory of God to conceal things, but the glory of kings is to search things out.

Ephesians 1:16-17 (NIV) I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better.

Today, we start our journey of prayer and fasting, seeking God's presence and power in our lives! We're praying for God's kingdom to come and His will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven, just as Jesus taught us in Matthew 6:10.

Join us as we explore this powerful prayer and its impact on our lives. As we align ourselves with the Kingdom of Heaven, we can expect to see positive changes. We can pray with confidence for healing and for God's peace to replace anxiety. Through prayer, we can see the impossible become possible.

As we prepare our hearts for the next 21 days, let's pray for Heaven to come down and for God's will to be done on earth as it is in Heaven. We believe that as we seek God in prayer and fasting, we'll experience His presence in new and powerful ways.

Record how God is speaking to you through Scripture, circumstances, and other Christians. It doesn’t have to be complicated or detailed. It doesn’t matter if it’s digital or written. Keeping a record of when God shows up and shows off helps us recall His character and “glory in his holy name” (Psalm 105:3).
