Today is the final episode of our Prayer & Fasting journey. Together we reflect on the story of Esther, a powerful reminder that fasting isn't just personal, it's communal and courageous. Even when God seems hidden, His hand is at work, weaving great reversals through our surrender. 

As Esther stood in the gap for her people, we’re invited to fast and pray not only for ourselves, but for others in need of hope and breakthrough. Join us in drawing near to the God who turns silence into proclamation, weakness into strength, and hidden prayers into history shaping power.

Whether you’re beginning your day, pausing at midday, or closing with evening prayer, this podcast will encourage you to depend on God, listen for His voice, and live fully surrendered to Him.

Welcome to Day Four of Vox Church’s Week of Prayer and Fasting. Today we reflect on one of Scripture’s most sobering yet hope filled moments the confrontation between the prophet Nathan and King David in 2 Samuel 12.

Through this powerful story of sin, conviction, and restoration, we’re reminded that God’s exposure of our brokenness is not for condemnation, but for redemption. David’s response, turning to God through prayer and fasting, gives us a model of humility and repentance. We are called to respond likewise: to let conviction lead us not to shame, but to deeper intimacy with Jesus. If you hear God whispering, “You are the one,” know it’s not the end, it’s the invitation to return.

Whether you’re beginning your day, pausing at midday, or closing with evening prayer, this podcast will encourage you to depend on God, listen for His voice, and live fully surrendered to Him.

Drawing from Acts 13:1-3, today we look at the powerful moment where the Holy Spirit sets apart Barnabas and Saul (later Paul) for a divine calling, a moment that would shape the future of the global church. Through the examples of Saul, Barnabas, and the gathered believers, we’re reminded that fasting isn't passive waiting, it's an active, humble pursuit of God's will. 

This episode encourages us to create space in our lives for clarity, calling, and community as we fast and worship together. Whether you're in a season of waiting, searching for direction, or simply longing to hear God's voice more clearly, this is a call to lean in with expectancy.

Welcome to Day Two of Vox Church’s Week of Prayer and Fasting. Today, we are highlighting Nehemiah 1. We meet a man whose heart breaks over the brokenness of his people and city, and his first response isn’t action; it’s prayer and fasting. In this story, we explore how God gives us holy burdens that draw us to intercession, repentance, and ultimately compassionate action. Nehemiah’s story challenges us to slow down, feel deeply, and bring our grief, concern, and vision to God first.

Day 8: Easter Sunday – He Is Risen

On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the truth that changes everything: He is not here. He has risen. In Luke 24:1–12, the women arrive at the tomb expecting death but find instead a message of life, hope, and victory. Today’s devotional invites us to consider how we respond to the resurrection—will we dismiss it as an idle tale, or like Peter, will we run to the tomb in faith? Because Jesus lives, everything has changed. Fear is silenced, death is defeated, and life is worth living. He is risen indeed.

Whether you’re beginning your day, pausing at midday, or closing with evening prayer, this podcast will encourage you to depend on God, listen for His voice, and live fully surrendered to Him.

Day 7: Holy Saturday – The Silence of God

Holy Saturday is the day between. Between the suffering of the cross and the joy of the resurrection. Between confusion and clarity. Between death and life. In Matthew 27:62–66, we see fear gripping both Jesus’ enemies and his friends—one group afraid that the story isn’t over, the other afraid that it is. Today’s devotional invites us to sit in the stillness and silence, to recognize the fear, and to remember: even when we cannot see it, God is still at work. Resurrection is coming.

Whether you’re beginning your day, pausing at midday, or closing with evening prayer, this podcast will encourage you to depend on God, listen for His voice, and live fully surrendered to Him.

Day 6: Good Friday – What God Meant for Good

On the darkest day in human history, Jesus was crucified, mocked, rejected, and pierced for our transgressions. Yet through this unimaginable suffering, God was accomplishing something eternally good. In today’s reflection on Luke 23:33–46, we witness the mercy of Christ, the power of the cross, and the invitation extended to every sinner: “Today, you will be with me in paradise.” Good Friday reminds us that even in our greatest sorrow or sin, God’s love does not falter. What man meant for evil, God meant for good. This is the power and the promise of the cross.

Whether you’re beginning your day, pausing at midday, or closing with evening prayer, this podcast will encourage you to depend on God, listen for His voice, and live fully surrendered to Him.

Day 5: Holy Thursday – Is It I?

On Holy Thursday, we enter the upper room with Jesus and his disciples as they share the Passover meal for the last time. In Mark 14:12–24, betrayal sits quietly at the table, yet Jesus offers bread and a cup—symbols of his body and blood poured out for many. Today’s reflection invites us to wrestle with the sobering question: Is it I? In our own failures, we are not met with condemnation, but with an invitation to repent, to receive grace, and to remember the Lamb of God who gave his life so we could live.

Whether you’re beginning your day, pausing at midday, or closing with evening prayer, this podcast will encourage you to depend on God, listen for His voice, and live fully surrendered to Him.

Day 4: Holy Wednesday – The Servant King

As Jesus approaches the cross, he kneels to wash his disciples’ feet,a quiet, stunning act of humility and love. In today’s reflection on John 13:1–5, 12–17, we see the Savior who knows all things choose to serve in the lowliest way, showing us the heart of God. This devotional calls us to embrace the way of Jesus: a life marked not by status or self-preservation, but by love expressed through service. Let his love reshape you today.
