First Baptist Church of Delair

21 Days of Fasting

April 20th - May 9th


Hebrews 11:6 - But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

FBC Delair family, we are so grateful that you’re choosing to be a part of these 21 days of prayer and fasting. This isn’t about religious duty or trying to prove something to God; this is about drawing nearer to Him with sincere hearts and making room for His presence to move in us.

 Fasting has a way of quieting the noise in our lives so that we can hear God more clearly. It strengthens our spiritual hunger, sharpens our discernment, and positions our hearts for Christly renewal. When we fast, we’re not trying to impress God (or anyone else), we’re simply saying, “LORD, You matter more than anything else.”


Over the next 21 days, my prayer is that we will experience:

·    a renewed love for Jesus Christ

·    a deeper hunger for God’s Word

·    freedom from anything that has held us back

·    healing in places that we’ve carried pain

·    a fresh outpouring of the Holy Spirit in our lives and in our church

 Whether you’ve fasted many times or this is your very first time, I want you to know this:  God will honor your genuine pursuit. Don’t worry about doing this perfectly; just show up daily with a willing heart and mind. If you stumble, don’t quit! If you miss a day, don’t give up! Just return to the presence of Jesus Christ and keep going!

 We’re fasting together, praying together, believing together, and trusting together that the Almighty God is going to do something powerful in and through FBC Delair.

 Let’s lean in, draw closer to God, expect Him to move, and believe that the best is still ahead.


What kinds of fasts can I do?

Here are a few Biblical and practical options:

1. Full Fast

·    Water only (use wisdom and consult a doctor, if needed)

2. Daniel Fast

·    Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, water (based on Daniel chapters 1 & 10)

3. Partial Fast

·    Skipping one or two meals per day

·    Fasting from certain foods (sweets, caffeine, bread, etc.)

4.  Non-Food Fast

·    Social media, TV, streaming, gaming, etc.

·    Great for those who can’t fast from food due to medical conditions.
