21 Days of Prayer and Fasting

21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

This 21-day journey is an invitation to slow down, quiet the noise, and intentionally turn your heart toward God. This is more than a fast — it’s a reset. A time to rebuild the altar of your heart, let God confront what’s been weighing you down, and realign your life around His presence and purpose.

Over these 21 days, you’ll move from preparation, to breakthrough, to assignment — allowing God to deal with distractions, break unhealthy patterns, and open doors that only He can open. As you lean in, expect clarity, freedom, and renewed spiritual hunger.

Each day includes:
  • A Key Scripture and Supporting Scriptures to anchor your focus
  • A short devotional to strengthen your faith
  • Practical steps to help you live what you’re praying
  • Prayer points to help you pray God’s Word with intention

This journey will invite you to confront distraction, hidden sin, fear, and generational cycles — not in your own strength, but through the finished work of the cross and the power of the Holy Spirit.

By the end of these 21 days, the goal isn’t just that you completed a fast — but that you walk away changed. With deeper hunger for God, greater sensitivity to His voice, and a lifestyle of prayer and obedience that continues well beyond Day 21.

Frequently Asked Questions about Fasting

1. What is fasting?

When we fast, we are disconnecting from the world, while prayer is used to connect with God. Biblical fasting is not starvation or an involuntary absence of food. Instead, it is abstaining from food for spiritual reasons. When looking at Scripture, a Biblical fast is not the same as a hunger strike or a diet; it is a spiritual discipline that draws us closer to God.


2. Why we fast?

“However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.” Matthew 17:21
The Bible teaches us that there are issues that can only be broken through prayer and fasting. We’re praying and fasting for a spiritual breakthrough in the areas where there is stagnation, limitation, and delay.
