Fasting Focus: Give up something of your choice as long as it’s not the same thing from last month. (food, drinks, snacks, etc.)
Prayer Focus: Spiritual Breakthrough
We need to humble ourselves before God daily. Psalm 35:13 says, “But as for me, when they were sick, my clothing was sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting; and my prayer would return to my own heart.”
“Then I proclaimed a fast there at the river of Ahava, that we might humble ourselves before our God, to seek from Him the right way for us and our little ones an all our possessions.” Ezra 8:21
Why should you humble yourself?
“Better to be of a humble spirit with the lowly, than to divide the spoil with the proud.” Proverbs 16:19
“Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.” James 4:10
“Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for ‘God resists the proud, but gives grace to the humble’. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time.” I Peter 5:5-6
“Much prayer and fasting, much power; little prayer and fasting, little power; no prayer and fasting, no power!!”
