Day 21: Trusting God to Complete His Work

Let’s take a moment today to be with God. If you want to do this as a family, we encourage you to set aside time after your own quiet time to go through the family content at the bottom together.

PAUSE

“Being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”—Philippians 1:6 (NIV)

You’ve made it! You’ve reached the end of this powerful 21-day journey of prayer and fasting. We hope these three weeks have been transformative for you—bringing breakthrough, spiritual growth, and, most importantly, a deeper closeness to the Lord. But remember, though this season ends today, your journey with Jesus doesn’t!

In fact, the best days of your life with Jesus are still ahead of you. Each new day brings an opportunity to know Jesus more deeply, to grow in closeness with Him, and to experience even more of His love. So, when you wake up tomorrow, even after your fast ends, carry with you the words of Paul from Philippians 3:12 (NIV): “Not that I have already obtained all this, or have already arrived at my goal, but I press on to take hold of that for which Christ Jesus took hold of me.”

And here's the amazing thing: As you press forward, as you continue this race with endurance, remember Philippians 2:13 (NIV), which says, “It is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill His good purpose.” So, be confident in the truth of Philippians 1:6: “He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus.”

PONDER

Look back on the past 21 days. Reflect on your prayers, journaling, and where you were at the start compared to where you are now. How have you seen God work in you? How have you changed?

PRAY

Father, thank You for everything You’ve done in my heart, mind, and life during these 21 days. May all You’ve spoken, shown, and done take root and bear fruit in my life. Holy Spirit, I pray I never become complacent or satisfied with my current level of intimacy with Jesus. Even as this season of fasting and prayer ends, may my devotion to You, my love for You, and my closeness to You only grow. Amen.

For Your Family

PAUSE

Read Philippians 1:6 out loud with your kids. Whether you go on a walk, talk in the car, discuss at dinner, or gather before bed, choose a time in your day to discuss and pray together.

PONDER

Share the main idea with them.

• God will finish the good work He starts in us.

Ask them:

• What hope do you have in God finishing what He started?

PRAY

Guide your children to pray using these prayer points.

• Thank God for promising to finish the good work He started.
• Ask God to keep helping you grow and become more like Him.
• Pray for others to let God change their lives in amazing ways.

Pray this over your children:

Father, thank You for everything You’ve done in our hearts, minds, and lives during the past 21 days. Thank You for what You’ve taught my kids and how they’ve heard from You. I pray they’ll keep growing in their devotional time and follow You all the days of their lives. Amen.
