God does not only look at the external expressions of fasting. The right attitude when fasting is one that reflects a posture of humility, a heart that is willing to be transformed by His mercy and grace.

As we seek God and His will through prayer and fasting, our faith grows. When we commit to an extended time of prayer, we draw nearer to God and know Him more.

Jesus makes all things new. As we live in Him, we can be in faith and look forward to entering a new year because we know He has a plan for us.

As we go through changes in our lives, our confidence is anchored in Jesus and who He is—trustworthy and faithful to His promise.

We can set an example of what it means to love like Jesus just as we have received and experienced His love. In doing so, we follow His command to love others.

We experience God’s promise of a new heart and a new spirit through a transformed life in Jesus Christ.

As we face the new year, we can say better things are coming because we are living in the hope that comes from what Jesus has done for us.

Our lives change when we live for Jesus. He gives us a new purpose and transforms the way we see and relate with Him and with others.

There is redemption in Jesus! He came to turn things around—to restore what was stolen, give life to what is dead, and renew what has been broken.

Jesus came on earth that we may live fully and abundantly. Not only that, but in His grace, we are able to reign in this life!
