Life Church | Prayer and Fasting

prayer and fasting

From the beginning of Life Church, we have made it a priority to seek God first in prayer. We do this collectively as a church each January through 10 days of Prayer and Fasting. These days are intentional as they begin a new season of the year. Together, we faithfully seek God first, trusting in His power alone to create lasting impact in our lives, our church, and our world.

"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and heal their land."

- 2 Chronicles 7:14

10 Days in january

It's setting aside something good, for something better.

Intentional prayer. Intentional fasting.

Less of me. More of God.

You're invited.

Tuesday night prayer gathering

you're invited to Life Church for a weekly prayer gathering on Tuesday nights. We'll begin at 7:00pm and will be joining via simulcast with Times Square Church (New York City) and hundreds of other congregations around the world for a time of prayer, praise reports, and worship. Quite simply, it's an amazing experience.

teaching on prayer

If you sense that God has more for your life, 10 days of Prayer and Fasting is a great place to start believing Him for all that He has for you.

With a daily time in prayer, you will put seeking God first in practice, and when you do this, He'll start working on your behalf like never before. You'll see a difference in your relationships, your work, your family, and every area of your life.

It's then that you'll best be able to spread His love to others.

Complete Fast

This fast calls for drinking only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.

Selective Fast

This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, or bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.

Partial Fast

This fast is sometimes called the Jewish Fast and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.

Soul Fast

This fast is common for those who do not have much experience fasting food, who have health issues that prevent them from fasting food, or who wish to refocus certain areas of their life that are out of balance. For instance, someone might select to abstain from using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast, and then choose to carefully bring that element back into their life in an orderly fashion at the conclusion of the fast.
