FAST WINDOW
This corporate fast may be observed using the standard window of 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM local time.
If needed, you may choose an alternate fasting period of midnight to 12:00 PM,
12:00 PM to 12:00 AM, or any continuous twelve hour window.
Use this time to seek the Lord for deeper intimacy, spiritual understanding, wisdom, discernment, and a greater desire for His presence.
Proverbs 2:1 through 6 teaches us that wisdom begins with receiving the Word of God, treasuring His commandments,
inclining our ears to wisdom, applying our hearts to understanding, crying out for knowledge, and seeking Him like hidden treasure.
IN ADDITION
Fast from social media, unnecessary entertainment, noise, and distractions during your fasting window unless required for work.
Make space for stillness, worship, prayer, Scripture meditation, and quiet time with the Lord.
Ask the Lord to increase your hunger for Him, deepen your relationship with Him, open your spiritual ears, purify your heart,
and release wisdom that comes from His mouth.
UNITY MOMENT
If you can, pause to pray at 12:00 PM local time.
If that is not possible, pause at the midpoint of your fasting window and pray in agreement with today’s focus:
Lord, draw me closer to You, deepen my relationship with You, and release wisdom, knowledge, and understanding from Your mouth.
SCRIPTURE AND DAILY FOCUS

I seek the Lord with my whole heart. As I draw closer to Him, I receive wisdom, knowledge, and understanding from His mouth.

My son, if thou wilt receive my words, and hide my commandments with thee;

So that thou incline thine ear unto wisdom, and apply thine heart to understanding;

Yea, if thou criest after knowledge, and liftest up thy voice for understanding;
Proverbs 2:4
