Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God;
and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding,
will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus. (Philippians 4:6-7)
This time of prayer and fasting is designed to create a space where you can spend time with God. It's less focusing on what you eat and what you don't eat. And focusing more on how to live in the peace of the Almighty God, who offers calm for your anxiety-filled soul.
Can you live anxiety-free every single day?
Do you worry about your kids, work, relationships, bills, more and more?
When stresses are overwhelming, where do you turn for peace and rest?
There are many reasons to "Have Fear," but God can conquer them all.
Can you find the peace, you long for amid the things that frighten you this day, during this 28 days, to steady your heart? Can you focus on the truth of God's word as you call upon the name of the Lord to drown out all anxiety-inducing thoughts?
Rely on God for strength and power to be victorious in any situation. Look to Jesus, the prophets and the apostles...they all fasted. Whether they needed guidance or strength or healing or a miracle, these heroes of faith knew the key to overcoming any obstacle in their path: prayer and fasting.
Whatever the need of the moment, the answer can be found in God's word and spending time in prayer with him. Start each day reading a promise from God in His Word. Then, dive into a time of prayer. God has always planned to work in partnership with us through prayer.

PRAYER:
Dear Father,
I cry out to you with my hands lifted high. I am in pain and every day feels like a battle to get through. I am weary from heartache and I need your presence to get through the days ahead. I look to you, my strength has failed. Please forgive me for the times I have forgotten to come to you first. I seek your face Lord, please wash your Holy Spirit over me and replace my anxiety with your peace that goes beyond all understanding. God you are good all of the time. You are the first to understand my anxiety, hurt, confusion and pain. And you are the one who will turn my mourning into dancing. (Psalm 30:11) Thank you for walking with me and for carrying me through the suffering and the celebrations of life. Thank you for your hope and for your new mercies each morning (Lamentations 3:23).
In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen!
