On January 2nd, we are starting 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting! Come along with us as we seek God together with daily live devotionals and corporate Saturday Morning Prayer.
We have found that the best way to start our year right is to start it with God’s direction and in His presence. Join the journey by following our social media platforms @yourhopecity for daily encouragement. Below you will find prayer and fasting resources, Saturday Morning Prayer information, and how to subscribe to our daily devotions.

Purpose & Types of Fasting
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives.
Remember, our personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know our body, our options, and most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads us to do.
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink 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, and 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 a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
