Day 6: Scattered

What drives your prayer today? And how does scripture relate to your concern?

I am sure whatever the need, it is covered under the heading of “all things.” Jesus promises whatever we need we should approach the Father in faith, and we will have our prayers answered, but the answers may come in ways we may not expect. As in Daniel’s case, this may not mean we will immediately get out of the situation, but we know everything changes when God steps in.

Until the answer comes, there are multiple reminders of God’s faithfulness to sustain us along our way. Here is one well worth remembering as you pray over the next several days: “You will seek me and nd me when you seek me with all your heart” (Jeremiah 29:13).

Dear Jesus, you invite us to come to you with our requests. As I begin this journey today, I rest upon the truth of your promises that I shall have the answers that align with your will. Amen.

Scripture Focus: Matthew 7:7–8 (AMP)

“Ask and keep on asking and it will be given to you; seek and keep on seeking and you will nd; knock and keep on knocking and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who keeps on asking receives, and he who keeps on seeking nds, and to him who keeps on knocking, it will be opened.”

Personal Response: Fasting and prayer would be pointless without the assurance our God answers. Do you have areas of unbelief you need to give to God before you begin your fast and prayer time?

Let me encourage you, during the next thirty-one days, commit to fast—however God leads—and draw closer to him through the process. If you chose to fast, what are you fasting from? Write it down.
