21 Days of Prayer and Fasting

Day 1

“Draw near to God, and he will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.” James 4:8

“Loving the Lord your God, obeying his voice and holding fast to him, for he is your life and length of days, that you may dwell in the land that the Lord swore to your fathers, to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them.” Deuteronomy 30:20

Over the next 21 days I will be doing a Daniel fast and asking God to move in a powerful way in my life.  I day I will share the scripture I am meditating upon, a few words about where I sense God is working, and a synopsis of the prayer that I am praying for that day. I am sharing this in hopes that you might start a similar journey or that you would pray for me as I embark on mine.

As I start, I know there is nothing in me that can change me to the degree that the Spirit of God can.  So as I begin this journey, I start by drawing away from the world and drawing closer to God.   I am seeking a change that only He can bring.

“Father God, You promised in Your Word, that if I draw near to You, You would draw near to me.  I am seeking your presence in my life.  I desire to meet with You and be changed by Your power over these next three weeks.  Every day I will be seeking to draw closer to You through prayer and Scripture meditation.  Please open my heart to Your love, my eyes to Your presence, and change my life to be more like You.”
