21 Days of Prayer + Fasting
We are starting 2024, fixing our focus on Jesus,
through 21 Days of Prayer + Fasting.
Join us from January 7-27, 2024!
When we fast and pray, God moves in a powerful way in our lives and through our community. We do not fast, to get more of God... we fast because there is more of God. We want to starve our distractions and feed our focus.
Life is hard. Prayer doesn’t have to be.
Whatever is going on with you right now... God is actually interested.
And yet for many of us, connecting with God through prayer often feels foreign, challenging or beyond our reach.
That is why every morning we will post a prayer prompt on our stories, (an encouragement, a short reflection, or a scripture passage) to kickstart your habit of developing a lifestyle of prayer. So be sure to follow us on Instagram at @WeAreRestorationChurch or on TikTok or Facebook @RestorationChurchSD.
