21 Days of Fasting and Prayer
As we enter 2025, many are eager for a new beginning. Amid the chaos, there is a longing for answers and tranquility. This serves as a powerful reminder that true peace is found in God. Let’s make 2025 a year of deepening our relationship with Him like never before. This year, as we embark on a collective fasting journey, let’s come together with others to form a community that rejuvenates our hearts and minds. We invite you to participate in this year's Fast.

Today's Scripture
- Ephesians 6:10-11,15 NLT
- “A final word: Be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power. Put on all of God’s armor so that you will be able to stand firm against all strategies of the devil. ...For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared.
Activity
Invite family members to share which pair of shoes is their favorite. Why are they your favorites?
In Ephesians 6, we are encouraged to put on God’s armor, and in place of shoes is “the peace that comes from the Good News” (v.15). Those shoes seem different than any of our favorites. Do you think they’re more powerful? More protective?
The Holy Spirit gives us power to walk in His peace, taking the message of Jesus’ love and forgiveness wherever we go. Every day brings opportunities to show and tell others of His love.
Go on a family prayer walk (See ideas in the prayer section below). Beyond today, build this prayerful mindset into your family’s culture by noting and acting upon prayer opportunities within your daily rhythms (e.g., grocery shopping, at the park, at activities or eating at restaurants).

Reflection/ Prayer
- Reflect: The Holy Spirit is at work all around me, wherever I go. When I’m watchful, I’ll discover exciting opportunities to pray for others, showing and telling the Good News of Jesus.
- Pray: Go on a family prayer walk at a location of your choosing (e.g., your neighborhood, the mall or a park). While walking, be watchful for opportunities to pray for needs you see or sense, praying in the moment, or note the needs and pray when you return home.
