21-Day Fast & Prayer Into & Through Your Next SeasonНамуна

If you're reading this, it means you've stuck with the decision to sacrifice something significant. Maybe it's fasting for 21 days by cutting back on food, or giving up something else that's dear to you. Whatever it is, you've chosen to move the heart of God in your unique way.

Let me remind you that God's heart is always for us, no matter what we do. But here's the thing - without faith, it's impossible to please God. And when we take that leap of faith through fasting, it's a powerful step towards something great, He is pleased and moved in a way He wants to be.

But guess what? When you decide to step out in faith, you can be sure to expect opposition and discouragement. It's totally normal. Trust me, I've been there too. Maybe you've already faced some opposition and setbacks and maybe even naysayers along the way.

Let this be your reminder to keep on pushing!

Take a lesson from the people of Israel in the Bible. When they were called to rebuild the temple, they had some not-so-friendly folks offering to help who had ulterior motives. But the Israelites saw right through it and rejected their assistance. And boy, did those adversaries try to bring them down, they even offered bribes to have their plans frustrated. But here's the thing - they didn't succeed. The Israelites knew exactly in whom they believed!

Do you know who you believe in?

The same God who protected their journey, will also protect you when you seek His help. So make a bold decision today - no matter what opposition comes your way, stand tall and trust that the same God who watched over Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, was there for Ezra and sent His Son to die and rise again is right there with you, cheering you on.

Keep the faith and trust that God's got your back, and you'll see miracles unfold before your eyes.

Prayer: Lord, enable me to stand firm in my identity and calling, even in the face of opposition and discouragement. Strengthen my faith and confidence in You. Help me to trust that You will empower me, give me discernment about helpers along the way, and even use unexpected sources for Your purposes. Thank You for Your protection and guidance. I refuse to give up on my commitment to You. In Jesus' name, Amen.
