As part of 21 Days of Prayer, we encourage you to include some form of fasting for the 21 days. It’s very typical to fast a single meal, a whole day, or even three days or more. The timing of your fast is not as important as the strength of your focus on God as you fast.
Why do we fast? Fasting is a Biblical way to grow closer to God. Biblical fasting always involves giving up something we need or eliminating things that distract us from God. In drawing closer to God, we can hear him more clearly, and it opens our hearts up for him to renew us and prepare us for His blessing in our lives. Fasting references from the Bible:
- Joel 2:12-14
- Matthew 6:16-18
- Matthew 9:14-15
- Luke 18:9-14
- Acts 27:33-37
- Nehemiah 9:1-3
How? Your personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and, most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do. There are many types of fasting. Fasting includes a fast from food for a period of time, while drinking water only (from one meal to a couple days), a fast from things that we spend a lot of time on that distract us from God, (e.g., social media, television, gaming). The fast could also be eliminating beer or wine, shopping, or other activities or ways we sometimes use to relax or fill us up, leaning instead on Him. It’s very typical to fast a single meal, a whole day, or other. The purpose is to set aside something each day that will allow you to draw closer to God, then to replace that time in prayer and seeking Him.
