Twenty-one days ago we embarked on a journey together with one goal in mind: "To Put God First.”

Today you are finishing strong! Today, you celebrate the journey. Today you come before the Lord, probably a little thinner than we were when we started, but grateful for what we have encountered. Take a moment right where you are to give adoration, worship, and thanksgiving to the Lord.

Read all of Matthew 6 and Isaiah 61. Take your time and allow God to speak to you through His Word. Be sure to highlight or make note of any specific verse that speaks to where you are today.

Also, take a moment to reflect on your experience throughout this time of prayer and fasting. Do you feel closer to the Lord than you did on day one? Think back over all the scripture you’ve read the last three weeks. Is there a specific passage that has stuck with you? Think about the online prayer services, did any specifically impact you? Let this season of prayer be a turning point, that you can go back to over and over to remember all you experienced during this season with the Lord.

On a practical note, be careful as you begin to put solid foods back into your diet. Don't eat too much, too fast, or you could find yourself not feeling well. This was never a physical challenge, but rather a spiritual journey. Carry what you have learned and let this be the beginning of "all things new."

Our prayer is that you continue to carry the good disciplines with you into this next season and into Day #22. Remember, God doesn’t want us to live a “fast lifestyle” but a “fasted lifestyle” - completely devoted to Jesus! Continue to lean into Jesus this year, learn to put your flesh under, and enjoy the best of God!
