Fasting & Praying Guide

DAY 17 OF 21

There are only three characters in the Bible who are said to have fasted for forty days: Moses (Exod. 34:28), Elijah (1 Kings 19:8), and Jesus (Matt. 4:2). It should strike us as no coincidence, then, that these very three show up at the time when Jesus is transfigured before His disciples (Matt. 17:1–3). Only this time, the glory of God is clearly shown forth in Jesus Himself.

About this Plan

Fasting & Praying Guide

This 21-day fasting and prayer guide will look first at the example of Jesus’ fasting and temptation in the wilderness. Then we will draw out important biblical teachings to edify our souls as we fast from food and feast on God. The goal is to experience what it means to live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4).
