Day 1: Power to Seek God: Seeking God Wholeheartedly

Fasting is a holy invitation. It’s not about what you give up—it’s about who you’re going after. When you choose to fast, you are saying, “God, You are my greatest desire. I want You more than food, more than comfort, more than anything this world can offer.” 

The Father doesn’t hide Himself from His children—He hides Himself for His children. He longs to be pursued. There is something sacred about hunger that awakens spiritual passion. Every time your stomach growls, it can become a reminder that your spirit is craving something deeper. 

We live in a world full of distractions. Voices shout for our attention, screens glow for our affection, and endless activity fills our days. But fasting creates space. It slows the noise long enough for love to speak again. It’s in that quiet place—where your heart begins to ache for His presence—that the Lord whispers, “I’m here.” 

If you’ve felt distant from God, you’re only one sincere prayer away from closeness. Seeking Him isn’t about performing—it’s about returning. It’s about remembering that He’s the treasure, not a task. The promise of Jeremiah 29:13 is still true: You will find Him. 

As you begin this 21-day journey, don’t worry about getting it perfect. Just come hungry. Whisper His name. Tell Him that you want to know Him more. When you do, you’ll find that He’s been seeking you all along. 

Prayer Prompt 

Today, tell the Lord that you want to know Him more than anything else. Ask Him to increase your hunger for His presence. Invite Him to expose distractions that keep you from intimacy. As you fast, let every moment of physical hunger become a reminder that your soul was made for Him.
