This year is my first time joining the 21 days of prayer and fasting and it truly reignited my relationship with God. As I spent time in His Word each day, I felt a fresh desire to depend on the Holy Spirit and draw closer to Him. Starting my mornings with prayer and choosing to live out His Word changed how I see things. I realised that showing God’s love does not need big or dramatic actions. It can be seen in small, sincere acts of kindness and compassion.
At the beginning, I had been feeling unwell for some time. But as the fast went on, I began to feel stronger and more energised. By the end, I even had the desire to be active again. It reminded me that God restores not just our spirit, but also our strength.
One area I found difficult was sharing the gospel through my actions. During these 21 days, God gave me opportunities to do this with new people, with those I found challenging, and even with those closest to me. The Holy Spirit guided me in what to say and how to respond, and it felt natural rather than forced.
This season also brought breakthroughs in my walk with God. I saw prayers answered, not only for me and my family, but also in the healing of broken relationships. My heart for people has been renewed, and I feel more aware of how God wants to use me in everyday moments.
I am so thankful for this experience, and I hope to continue this as a daily habit in my walk with God.
