Today we’re in John 17, where Jesus prays to the Father for His disciples and for all who would believe in Him. In verse 24, Jesus shares His heart, “Father, I want those You have given Me to be with Me.”

This is such a powerful reminder. Our prayer and fasting isn’t about effort, performance, or what we give up. It’s about presence. Jesus wants us to be with Him.

This is an open invitation to set aside distractions, quiet the noise, and simply enter His presence. Whether you’re believing for breakthrough, healing, provision, or clarity, know this. God wants to be with you.

We aren’t chasing God. He is pursuing us. And as we allow His love and goodness to meet us, we become a reflection of His glory.
