Life in Christ Church

Daniel Fast

21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

January 14 - February 3, 2024

As we begin a new year at Life in Christ Church, we want to make it a priority to seek God first in prayer and fasting. We do this corporately as a church through the 21-day Daniel Fast. Together, we faithfully seek God first, trusting His power alone to create a lasting impact in and through our lives.

Fasting is voluntarily going without food - or any other regularly enjoyed, good gift from God - for the sake of a spiritual purpose. Jesus invites His followers to fast, and we fast in this life because we believe in the life to come. We fast from what we can see and taste, because we have tasted and seen the goodness of God and are desperately hungry for more of Him. So, take a step of faith, pray without ceasing, and watch God move in your life, our church, and the world! (Matthew 6:6-18, Matthew 9:14-15, Luke 18:9-14, Acts 27:33-37, Nehemiah 9:1-3)
