As 2026 begins, we want to start the year with 21 days set apart to seek God with all our hearts in prayer and with fasting while reading a chapter a day in the Book of Genesis. We know that it’s in times like these where God reveals His heart and changes ours.

When facing great opposition and challenges, Daniel completed 21 days of prayer and fasting. In Daniel 10:12 an angel appears to him and says, “Do not be afraid, Daniel. Since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.” God hears our prayers and dispatches his angels concerning us. By the power of His Spirit, He protects and provides, responds and restores, heals and helps meet all of our needs.

“Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.”

— HEBREWS 4:16 (ESV)

3. FAST TO MAKE ROOM FOR GOD

Fasting is IntentionallY givING up Food or other distractions for a period of time to seek God more deeply through prayer and dependence on Him. Fasting helps us quiet distractions and refocus our hearts on God. As you fast, you’re not just giving something up—you’re making space to hear His voice and align your HEART with God’s will. Come with faith and expectation for what God wants to do in and through you during this time.

HOW TO FAST

The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. Remember, 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.

TYPES OF FASTING

COMPLETE FAST

In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.

SELECTIVE FAST

This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.

PARTIAL FAST

This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00am to 3:00pm, or from sunup to sundown.

SOUL FAST

This fast is a great option to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
