21 Days of Fasting
As we begin our 21 days of fasting on September 1, let us prepare our hearts to meet with our Savior daily to pray for the following:
Repentance (Personal, the Nations)
- 2 Chronicles 7:14 – "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land."
- Matthew 4:17 – "From that time on Jesus began to preach, “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is near.“
Our Church Body (For health, growth, etc.)
- Proverbs 3:7-9 – "Do not be wise in your own eyes; fear the LORD and shun evil. This will bring health to your body and nourishment to your bones. Honor the LORD with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops."
- 1 Chronicles 4:10 – "Jabez cried out to the God of Israel, “Oh, that you would bless me and enlarge my territory! Let your hand be with me, and keep me from harm so that I will be free from pain.” And God granted his request."
Schools/Administrators/Teachers
- Phillipians 2:10-12 – "Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name, that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father."
Our Youth/Our Children/Prodigal Sons & Daughters
- Psalm 144:12 – "Then our sons in their youth will be like well-nurtured plants, and our daughters will be like pillars carved to adorn a palace."
- Luke 15:23-24 – "And kill the calf we have been fattening. We must celebrate with a feast, for this son of mine was dead and has now returned to life. He was lost, but now he is found.’ So the party began."
