The purpose of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting is to provide an opportunity for the Church and for you to seek the face of the Lord Jesus Christ, to learn to hear His voice, and to fall more in love with Him. The greatest purpose of prayer is knowing God more intimately. As a church, we spend 21 days every January seeking the Lord together, but you can start this study at any time you are ready to grow more in your relationship with Jesus Christ.

If you study the life of Jesus Christ, you will discover He spent the entirety of life pursuing His Father and only doing what He saw Him doing. When Jesus ascended into heaven, He continued to stay in close contact with His disciples through prayer and the ministry of the Word. Today, Jesus Christ continues to pray for all the saints. The book of Hebrews tells us, “…He always lives to make intercession for them” (Hebrews 7:25). If you are a believer, you can know that today the Lord Jesus Christ is praying for you!

Whether you are a seasoned veteran in prayer or just learning how to seek Him, my prayer for you is that you would be prompted to spend more time with Jesus and enjoy Him more and more every day. This 21 Day Prayer Journal is simply a tool to help you seek God and learn how to hear His voice. Jesus told us in John 10:27, “My sheep know my voice.” As you grow in your love and desire to pray, I hope that you hear the voice of the Lord more clearly and fall more in love with people neglect prayer because they question if they are praying the right way, saying the right things, posturing themselves correctly or focusing at the right time of the day.

Let me encourage you that our Father wants to hear you, and the more you spend time seeking Him, the more you will enjoy God and the more you will understand prayer. Prayer is not simply a religious activity in which we engage, but rather a practice of knowing the One true God and falling more in love with Him.
