21 DAYS OF FASTING & PRAYER
DAYS 1 & 2
RETURNING TO GOD
Stand. See. Ask. Walk.
We have officially begun our 21-Day Journey of Fasting and Prayer.
As we begin, let us remember that fasting is not only about what we are giving up. It is about what we are returning to.
Returning to prayer.
Returning to the Word of God.
Returning to obedience.
Returning to worship.
Returning to the presence of God.
Returning to the place where we can hear His voice clearly again.
Jeremiah 6:16
“Stand ye in the ways, and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein…”
Joel 2:12
“Therefore also now, saith the LORD, turn ye even to me with all your heart, and with fasting, and with weeping, and with mourning.”
DAY 1 — STAND
Before we move forward, we must first stand before God.
Stand still long enough to listen.
Stand in His presence.
Stand on His Word.
Stand even when it is uncomfortable.
Stand and allow God to show us where we truly are.
Declaration:
I will stand in the presence of God. I will not run from His correction, His conviction, or His call. I am returning to the place where God can speak to me clearly.
DAY 2 — SEE
Once we stand, we must be willing to see.
Lord, show me what needs to change.
Show me what has distracted me.
Show me what I have allowed to become more important than You.
Show me where I have grown weary, comfortable, or spiritually distant.
Confession:
Lord, help me to see myself through Your Word. Reveal anything in me that is hindering my relationship with You. Create in me a clean heart and renew a right spirit within me.
Decree:
My spiritual vision is becoming clearer. My heart is turning back to God. Every distraction, weight, and hindrance will lose its hold over me. I will hear God, follow God, and walk in the way He has prepared for me.
Prayer Focus for Days 1 & 2:
Lord, draw us back to You. Restore our hunger for Your presence. Renew our prayer lives. Strengthen our families. Revive our churches. Heal the brokenhearted. Save the lost. Restore the backslider. Rekindle the fire in Your people and awaken us again.
We are only at the beginning of this journey.
Do not become discouraged.
Do not focus on perfection.
Focus on surrender.
Focus on obedience.
Focus on returning to God one day at a time.
We are returning to God.
We are standing in the ways.
We are asking God to open our eyes.
And we are preparing to walk in the old paths.
