40 Days of Prayer & FastingSample

Fasting + Meditation

Fasting and meditation may not be your typical ways of connecting with God, but we can connect with Him in so many ways.

In your time with God today, saturate yourself in the Lord’s presence as you fast. Reflect on what He might be asking you to withhold during your fast and be sure to meditate on Scripture in place of those things--whether it be food, social media, or anything else. You withhold during a fast to fill yourself up with the Lord, not to remain empty. Fill yourself up with the bread of life today. Take extra time to meditate and chew on the word of God.

Prayer: Spirit of revelation, open my eyes. Your word is living and active. Your word is my daily bread. Use it to speak to me. I meditate on Your words and Your ways. I will live off of and meditate on every word that comes from Your mouth. I fill myself up with Your word today and thank you that it never returns void. Amen.
