ENCOUNTER

God’s word tells us that “we have everything we need to live a life of Godliness in Christ Jesus,” meaning that everything you need to live life on Purpose will be found in your encounters with God himself.

God has an answer for every problem you face, He has a way forward for every situation you feel stuck in, and He has encouragement for you in every trial you walk through. It’s in your encounters with God’s presence where you will find all you need! And that’s exactly what 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting is all about–daily encountering God’s amazing, guiding, and loving presence. 

Starting January 5th through January 25th, we will be joining together as a church family to pray and fast. This is an intentional time designed to help you move from weekly experiences with God to daily encounters with Him.

Below you’ll find resources to guide you through what a spiritual fast is, best practices, and some tools and tips to help guide you. If it seems overwhelming, I promise we will keep it super simple; the goal is simply to have daily encounters with God. 

A Helpful Way to Begin to Pray

Praise God for who He is and what He’s done.
Repent of where we’ve fallen short.
Ask for what we need.
Yield to His will and hear what He has to say.

Praise, Repent, Ask, Yield. Or for an easy way to remember it: PRAY.

Praise
  • What do you love about God?
  • What are some ways God is good at being God?
  • What are you thankful for today?

Repentance
  • Is there any area of your life where you’re withholding forgiveness?
  • Is there any area of your life where you need forgiveness?
  • Is there any area of your life where you’re lacking faith or wondering if God really is good? If so, take a few minutes to tell Him how you feel. It’s OK. He can take it.

Ask 
  • What do you need as you walk into your day?
  • Is there any area where you lack love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, gentleness, or self-control? This is the time to ask God for what you need.

Yield
  • What do you need to hear from God today?
  • Pause for a minute. What do you feel the Spirit saying to you as you sit in stillness?
  • How will you follow God’s direction?
