On today's podcast, we'll get into what anchor scriptures are, our next dissected song, and step into the listening room!

Prayer Approach shared by fellow Amazing Clubhouse user - Amir:

"God is the very pneuma (Air in motion), the very breath that we breathe. We breathe in God, we breathe out praise. Our breaths are prayers that supplicate for the next breath."

• Worship, Thanksgiving, and Praise
• Supplications
• Stand On His Word
• Keep Your Faith
• Confess
• Keep a Record

Anchor Scripture: An anchor scripture is that one scripture that holds a lot of power. It's a reminder that no matter how we might drift off or lose ourselves in the process of LIFE, it'll always help us recenter and remind us of the character and presence of God in our life.

Psalm 139:7-10 NIV: Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there. If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.

Today's featured song: Forever/Beautiful Grace x Kirk Franklin

Listen here: The Pieces Podcast Official Playlist - Apple Music or Spotify

The lyrics say,

I'm so unworthy

I don't deserve you

Grace and mercy

I'm so unworthy

You left your throne because your love heard me

I'm so unworthy

In my sins I was lost

'Til the lighthouse of the cross

Saved a wretch like me

And now I am redeemed

I will spend forever falling in love with you

We'll discuss a meditation mantra, an approach to prayer, confirming your worthiness and how you're qualified for the purpose the Lord has called you to. Tune into today's episode for the full breakdown.

There's a quiet place

That gives me peace when I'm alone with You

There's a hiding place

Your Spirit's always there when I'm confused

Only You can purify

All this world won't ever satisfy

My heart, it cries

As the deer pants for the water

So my soul, need You Lord

When thirsty God, You're the living water

And my soul, need You Lord

I need You Lord

We'll discuss the hiding place, thirsting for the Lord, and praying scripture back to God. Tune into today's episode for the full breakdown.

Guide to 21 Days of Fasting (Thank you for our listener - Nita for sharing some key facts!)

What is a Fast? - Fasting is simply denying your flesh and what it wants in order to seek God for what He wants.

Why do we fast? As you cleanse you body, your spirit is renewed and refreshed, allowing you to hear from God more clearly and be more sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit. Remember, FASTING WITHOUT PRAYER IS MERELY GOING ON A DIET. We want to see spiritual results as well as physical.

What is the Daniel Fast? (see Daniel 1:12) Essentially a vegetarian/vegan diet

Food Included: Whole Grains, Legumes, Fruits, Vegetables, Water, All natural Juices

Food Not Included: Sugar, Desserts, Soft Drinks, Table or Box salt, Bread, Meats, Fish, Poultry, Dairy, Fried foods, Butter, etc.
