40 Days of Fasting & Prayer

We believe prayer is the birthplace of revival. God has worked so many miracles in past years as we have sought Him together in prayer and fasting. The Holy Spirit has brought about conversions, renewed passion for evangelism, revived churches, and healed relationships.

Join us as we pray for our new pastor. There are flyers on how to participate.

Read our 40 Days of Prayer Daily Devotional. See below.

Preparing for the Fast

* Define Your Purpose: Determine why you are fasting (in addition to seeking God’s help in finding our new pastor that He already has in mind  and blessings for our programs, I.e., spiritual breakthrough, guidance, repentance).

* Set the Parameters: Decide what you are fasting from—food, social media, entertainment, or specific comforts—and the duration (e.g., 1, 3, 5, or 7 days).

* Physical Preparation: Taper off caffeine and sugary, processed foods 3-7 days before to minimize withdrawal headaches. Increase water intake.

* Spiritual Preparation: Confess sins, reconcile relationships, and surrender your agenda to God.

* Plan Your Time To: Replace meal times with prayer, reading/meditating on God’s word. listening to His voice, journaling.

During the Fast

* Focus on Prayer & Scripture: Use the time to intentionally connect with God, focusing on spiritual growth rather than the physical hunger (or whatever it is you’re abstaining from).

* Stay Hydrated: Drink plenty of water and non-caffeine herbal teas if doing a liquid fast.

* Manage Physical Symptoms: Expect fatigue, hunger, and potential moodiness (“hangry” feelings), particularly on extended fast. Rest when needed, and engage in only light, moderate activity.

* Avoid Distractions: Limit or abstain from secular music, television, and social media to keep your mind focused.

* Handle Difficulties: If you fail or fall short, give yourself grace and resume the fast rather than quitting. 

Breaking the Fast

* Ease Back In: End the fast slowly to avoid shocking your digestive system. Start with fruit juices, broths, and light, easily digestible foods like rice or raw vegetables.

* Maintain the Focus: Continue the spiritual habits formed during the fast, such as increased prayer and scripture reading.

Everyone is invited to come to have a prayer celebration at the conclusion of our 40 Days of Fasting & Prayer, at the church at 5 p.m. on May 2. Come for music, sharing, celebration, and prayer.

Everyday at noon in 2026, we all stop and pray at the same time for the same thing as a united church family. Set your alarm so you’ll remember. Even though we are separated, we can do this together. Here’s what we all can pray for together for our church:

Create your own specific prayer list of 3-5 people in our church. Think about where all of your church friends used to sit. Prayer specifically for them each day.

Call someone in the church and pray together, at least every day or every other day.
