About 21 Days 2024
Prayer is simply the medium through which we communicate and commune with God. As we dedicate the next 21 Days as a community to praying and fasting, the aim is not simply to pray more or pray better, but to experience deeper union with God.
As Julian of Norwich said long ago, “The whole reason why we pray is to be united into the vision and contemplation of him to whom we pray.” It’s to live each day more and more aware of and deeply connected to our Father; to be transformed into the likeness of his Son, Jesus; and to be filled with the fullness of his Spirit, to do what he made you to do in the world.
Over the next 21 Days (Jan 7-28, 2024) we’ll be using the prayer practice from Practicing the Way to make room for God to move us towards:
01 Talking to God
02 Talking with God
03 Listening to God
04 Being with God
Come with expectation and curiosity.
Come with openness and humility.
Come to discover new ways of communicating and communing with God.
Getting Started with Fasting
To practice prayer we set aside dedicated time to intentionally be with God, in order to become like him and partner with him in the world.
Who and/or what demands significant attention in your daily life?
- What can you say NO to over the next 21 days to create intentional space for silence and solitude with God?
Tip: Fasting can look like skipping a meal, but also like saying no to Netflix or social media. Consider saying no to something that will help you spend more than usual daily time with God.
