Fasting & Praying Guide预览
Fasting attunes our hearts to the Holy Spirit, helping us focus not on what we do but on the One who originates the thoughts and actions behind our lives.
“They feasted and drank in the Lord’s presence with great joy that day. And again they crowned David’s son Solomon as their new king. They anointed him before the Lord as their leader, and they anointed Zadok as priest.” —1 Chronicles 29:22
I love that the Lord calls us to seasons of fasting, solitude, and sober-mindedness. Yet, He also calls us to seasons of feasting, celebration, and joy—enjoying the bounty of the life He has prepared for us as His kings and priests.
Let’s live life to the fullest, giving glory to God in both our fasting and our feasting.
As this fast comes to an end, what steps are you going to take on a daily basis to seek God and be sensitive to the Holy Spirit continually? Take a moment to write out a prayer based on what the Lord has revealed to you during this fast and how you’ll implement those insights in this new season.
Reflection:
You did it. You’ve finished 21 days of fasting! As you return to your usual routine, my prayer is that you feel refreshed and renewed through time spent in God’s presence. I pray that these past few weeks have brought you new revelations, strengthened spiritual gifts, and deepened your relationship with God.
As you move forward this year, carry what you’ve learned with you and continue to find those small moments throughout your day to depend on God and His strength fully.

读经计划介绍
This fasting guide is meant to accompany a 21-day fast. For each week, we will look first at the example of Jesus’ fasting and temptation in the wilderness. Then we will attempt to draw out important biblical teachings to edify our souls as we fast from food and feast on God. The goal of this is to experience for ourselves what it means to live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4).
