STOP, put aside distractions, grab your Bible, pen, and notebook, take a couple of slow, deep breaths, and get cozy.
INVITE Jesus to meet you and tell yourself that God is always present with you, whether you feel something or not today.
READ the Bible passage(s) twice slowly. We recommend using a physical paper Bible for this part. Come back to this screen after you do the readings.
REFLECT on what stands out to you from the passage with these questions (if doing this with the group, respond in the comments with your thoughts).
1- Read Matthew 4:1-11. What happened to Jesus while he was fasting and praying?
2- Have you ever thought of fasting as a way to deepen your trust in God, help you see things differently, or anything else? What benefits does fasting seem to have?
PRAY and REST for a few minutes, and let whatever comes to mind rise up. Don’t dismiss anything that comes to you; just talk to God.
RESPOND by asking God if there is anything from your time today that may encourage others, be helpful to share, or may be a question others have (from the reflect questions). Share it today!

Take a deep dive into Jesus’ teaching in Matthew 6, where Jesus teaches us things that will mark His followers. The phrases “when you give,” “when you pray,” and “when you fast” hold invitation and expectation. We’ll receive instruction on these aspects of the Christian life, apply the teachings to our lives, and practice giving, praying, and fasting…living the way of Jesus together! We suggest a Thursday start day.
