21 Days of Prayer and Fasting

For 21 days, we will walk through the book of Colossians and let the Word of God lead our praying. Colossians is rich and sweet, as it calls out the greatness of our Savior. We are reminded that Jesus is supreme and preeminent. He is first and greatest—above all, in all, over all. Jesus is more than enough. He is sufficient, full, and complete.

How to participate:

Step 1
Access daily prayer prompts using the “Daily Revival” feature on our mobile app or the prayer guide (English | Spanish). Each day, we will focus on a few verses. We’ll provide some encouragement and a few prayer points from the passage. As you pray, ask the Holy Spirit to lead you.

Step 2
Pray about what the Lord would have you fast from during this season and set aside Mondays for our churchwide days of fasting.

Step 3
Make a list of needs and requests that you want to bring to the Lord during these 21 days.

Step 4
Submit a request on our app so others can join you in prayer.

How to submit a prayer request:

  • Go to the “Pray” tab at the bottom of the app’s home screen.
  • Choose “Request Prayer” in the tab at the top.
  • Enter your prayer request and hit “Save.” Don't forget, these requests will be public, so please use discretion and only share as much information as you are willing to have others see.

Step 5
Follow the Spirit. Pray as he leads.

Daily Devotional

Day 14 - Jan. 26

Put to death therefore what is earthly in you: sexual immorality, impurity, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. On account of these the wrath of God is coming. In these you too once walked, when you were living in them. But now you must put them all away: anger, wrath, malice, slander, and obscene talk from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old self with its practices and have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge after the image of its creator.

Colossians 3:5–10

We must be killing sin or it will be killing us. Jesus offers us so much more than the passing pleasures of sin. He calls us to full joy in his presence and eternal pleasures at his right hand.

1. Ask God to speak clearly about any area where you are considering or are engaged in any idolatry and sin.

2. Ask him to lead you in active repentance, putting to death and putting away these things.

3. Pray that by his Spirit and his Word, God would renew your mind and transform your behavior.
