21 Days of Prayer and Fasting
I am beginning a 21-day period of prayer and fasting, which will last until January 26th. During this time I will be following the “Daniel Fast” and also taking a break from social media.
Over the next 21 days, I am excited to lean into the presence of God and gain vision for 2025. I will be real and sharing that I have so many questions and things I need from the Lord. I am believing that this dedicated time of prayer and fasting will be an opportunity to deepen my relationship with Him and to seek His guidance for things to come.
If you have never participated in a season of prayer and fasting, I invite you to join me. Whether you choose to undertake a Daniel fast or simply fast from lunch once a week, I encourage you to set aside time to sacrifice something and fill that space with time spent with the Lord. The purpose of fasting and praying isn’t to check off some religious box; rather a time to engage heart-to-heart with our Heavenly Father.
I would greatly appreciate your prayers during this time. Please pray for clarity, vision, and new insights as I navigate my fundraising journey for 2025. I have faith that I will be able to return to Japan this year. My community there often reaches out, expressing their excitement for my return and their need for my support in "doing the work of the ministry." However, I cannot go back without full funding. I trust in the Lord's timing, but I also wish to be a responsible steward of my current season and the tasks He has set before me.
During this period, I ask for your prayers that I may remain focused and keep pace with the path God has laid out for me. I believe I will be fully funded this year so that I can apply for my visa and return to Japan, but I need the Lord's assistance and guidance to fulfill His work. If you have any prayer requests, feel free to share them with me. I would be delighted to unite our faith together.
Have you ever participated in 21 days of prayer and fasting? What advice would you to someone during a time of prayer and fasting?
