Share Your Prayer Story
The Bible instructs us to "Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep..." (Romans 12:15). Because of this, it is our honor to pray with you as you seek the Lord for all your needs, no matter how big or how small. Likewise, we want to rejoice with you when God faithfully answers your prayers. Please share praise reports to encourage the faith of others.

Prayer Playlist
1 Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to "Pray without ceasing." One way to cultivate a continual attitude of prayer is by listening to worship music. Whether in the car, in the office, or in your home, fill your space with music that draws your attention to God.
FASTING RESOURCES
Fasting amplifies our time of prayer because it disconnects us from the world. Fasting isn't about punishing yourself because God wants you to suffer, rather it's about intentionally disconnecting from wordly things for a season so you can hear from God and experience the full life He has for you.
Why Fast?
The goal of fasting is to draw near to God. It hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. Fasting enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God. It prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives.
When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.

Scripture References About Fasting
Types of Fasts
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.
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 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
SOUL FAST
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish 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.
