21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
Start the year seeking God first. Join City Church for 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting this January.
This January, we're setting our hearts on God together as a church. 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting is part of our January Series, a season to move from spiritual clutter into clarity, consecration, and faith, and to step into the year with momentum.
Our core truth for these 21 days: order determines outcome. When we prioritize God and His Word, He releases His promises in every area of life.
What we're believing for
- Greater intimacy with God
- Spiritual clarity and direction
- Breakthrough and renewal
- A deeper hunger for God's presence
A daily prayer devotional
Each day has a Scripture, a main thought, reflection questions, and a prayer to help get you started. Over four weeks of focus, we'll move from clearing the air and consecration, to re-ordering our priorities, relationships, and obedience for the finish.
The devotional is a guide, not a limit. Take time to listen, add what God is speaking to you personally, and let the Holy Spirit lead you beyond the words on the page. This journey is not about checking boxes, but about cultivating intimacy with God.
How we're fasting
Fasting is intentionally abstaining from food to seek God with greater focus. We encourage a Daniel-style fast (restricting certain foods) with prayerful, personal choices and no rigid rules. That could look like eliminating meats, sweets, or rich foods, eating simple meals, skipping one meal a day, or giving up coffee.
We also encourage adding non-food fasts like social media, entertainment, and other distractions. These help remove the noise, but they never replace fasting from food.
The power is not in the menu. It's in the obedience and time with the Lord.
New to fasting? Start where you are, don't compare yourself to others, and drink water. Use hunger as a reminder to spend time in prayer and in the Bible. If you stumble, don't quit. Re-engage.
