Prayer and Fasting

Why do we pray? Why do we fast? Throughout Scripture, prayer and fasting are acts of deep faith, dependence, and surrender to God. Prayer connects us to His presence, aligning our hearts and minds with His will, while fasting teaches us to deny ourselves, making room for His strength and guidance.

From Moses on the mountain to Daniel in exile, from Jesus in the wilderness to the early church, prayer and fasting have always been tied to seeking divine wisdom, breakthrough, and renewal. These disciplines are not about obligation, but about deepening our relationship with God, preparing our hearts to trust Him fully, and allowing His power to work in our lives.

Together, let’s explore how prayer and fasting can deepen our faith and transform our hearts, shaping us more fully into His image.
