A Season of Breakthrough
21 Days of Prayer & Fasting
January 5-25, 2026
At the start of each new year, we set aside a dedicated time of prayer and fasting to seek God’s presence and align our hearts with His plan and purpose for our lives.
This is more than a practice—it’s a pursuit.
This sacred practice involves intentionally giving up something significant—whether it’s a meal, a habit, or a form of entertainment—as a way of turning our full attention to God. Through this act of surrender and focus, we open ourselves to hear His voice more clearly and experience His power in fresh, transformative ways.
This is more than a spiritual discipline—it’s an invitation.
God is inviting you to draw closer to Him and witness His extraordinary work in your life and in the lives of those around you. When we humble ourselves, Heaven moves on our behalf. God wants to move in your life in miraculous ways. The question is are you willing?
Fasting is a time where we as followers of Jesus temporarily eliminate distractions, so that we can give our undivided attention to God. We do this so we can set aside our own desires and distractions, humbling ourselves, so that we can hear God’s voice. The focus is not to starve but rather to draw closer to God and feast on His presence.
What is Fasting?
Types of Fasts
Daniel Fast
During this fast you will remove meats, sweets, breads, and only consume plant-based meals.
“For three weeks, Daniel, who was a prophet during a time when Israel lived in exile, abstained only from ‘delicacies’ like meat and wine.” Daniel 10:3
Partial Fast
In this type of fast you will abstain from eating any food during the morning or the evening. This can be for a specific set of time such as 6am to 3pm or from sunrise to sunset.
Complete Fast
A complete fast means to drink only liquids, usually water and juices.
Item Fast
An item fast is from things that can be distracting, such as, social media or television, until the end of the fast and then bring these items back slowly. This option is great for those that don’t have experience in food fasts or have health restrictions.
