Devoted to the Moment
Are you ready for what God is about to do in your life? Fasting is spiritual cleansing and preparation that beckons God’s plan for your life! It’s your declaration that you are expecting God to move. Devote yourself to fasting and prayer and God will bless you, He can change His mind, He will bring answers, He will bring restoration!
Connection Point: “Turn to Me with all your heart, with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning . . . Who knows if He will turn and relent, and leave a blessing behind Him” (Joel 2:12,14 NKJV).
Connection Questions:
- First, determine what you’re fasting for. What are the top 3 things you’re praying for during your fast?
