21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

Join us at New Life Church for a 21-day journey of fasting and prayer from January 8 - 29. Over these three weeks, you have the freedom to choose your fast, whether it's abstaining from certain foods, activities, entertainment, or technology. The goal is to set aside these elements temporarily and focus more on prayer. As we dedicate this time to God, we anticipate witnessing incredible movements, cultivating deeper connections with Jesus, and embodying lives that mirror Christ's character more closely.

  • What is fasting?

    Spiritual fasting means going without something, like food, to spend more time with Jesus by praying, worshiping, and reading the Bible. Many Christians avoid fasting because it feels hard or they don’t realize how important it is, but the Bible talks about fasting 77 times - more than it mentions baptism. This shows that fasting is a key way to grow closer to Jesus and follow Him.

  • What are the different ways to fast?

    As you choose a way to fast, enjoy the closeness you find with God when you set aside time in His presence.


    • Choose to fast 1, 2 or 3 meals a day.
    • Opt for a partial fast like the Daniel Fast.
    • Limit yourself to a liquids only fast.
    • Try fasting from sunrise to sunset.
    • In addition to fasting food, also fast media such as TV, movies, and social media.
  • What is the Daniel Fast?

    The Daniel Fast is based on the prophet Daniel’s fasting experiences as recorded in the Bible. The fast is a biblically based partial fast. According to Daniel 1, the results were: learning, skill, wisdom, spiritual understanding, favor, and better appearance! In Daniel 10, the fast resulted in answered prayer and spiritual insight. One of the great things about the Daniel Fast is that you are not limited to any specific amount of food, but rather to the kinds of food you can eat.


    Three Key Components to the Daniel Fast:

    • Eat only fruits, vegetables, nuts, legumes, and whole grains.
    • Drink only water or natural juice for a beverage.
    • No sweeteners, breads, meat, eggs, or dairy products.
