We're so excited to take this time to pray and fast with you! The effectiveness of both prayer and fasting are emphasized throughout the scriptures. We know God will do something special in both your life individually and in Hope Church through this time of devotion.

Carving out a specific time to spend with God and having a physical list in front of you to pray over will motivate you to keep going when it seems impossible! Pray for what you are believing for personally, as well as the things we are believing for together as Hope Church.

Be honest with God. Let Him know where you need help. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal areas of weakness. Invite Him to challenge and change you over the course of your fast. Watch as He expands your vision and strengthens your faith. The act of prayer is what creates our intimacy with God. There are no levels to this. We all have access to him. Prayer starts by simply talking to Jesus. 

Fasting is about giving something up for a time in order to seek God in a deeper way. It’s not about losing weight; it’s about gaining vision! The type of fast you choose is up to you. We believe that as you remove distractions you will hear from God in a clearer way. Before making any drastic changes, please consult with your healthcare professional.
