The St. John Church 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting begins Wednesday, March 11 and ends
Friday, April 3 (Good Friday). As we stay connected and progress in faith during our 21 days of
prayer and fasting together as a church family, let us pray to draw closer to God, strengthen our
faith and advance God’s kingdom in 2026.
Our theme this year is “Faith that Sticks 2026: Get Connected” (John 15:1–8). This is a year of
connectivity. God has given us a grace year of opportunity to get and stay connected—connected
to Him, connected to His Word, and connected to one another. During our 21 days of prayer and
fasting, we are seeking divine revelation, spiritual revival, and spiritual breakthroughs as we abide
in Christ and allow our faith to grow deeper and stronger.
Our devotions this year are based on the book, “Pardon My Progress” by Dr. Darrell Fielder.
Although it is not necessary to purchase the book to join in our daily devotions, it is
recommended for supplemental information and greater understanding. This book can be
purchased in the SJC Growing in the Spirit Book Store. In addition, there will be daily live video
devotion presentations available on all SJC social media sites.
As we enter the season of prayer and fasting as a church, let us purify and consecrate ourselves.
As we go forward, we must pray for one another, the church, our community and the world. We
trust God to lead, guide and sustain us during our 21 days of prayer and fasting.

Five Components of the 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting:
1. Personal Quiet Time: Daily personal devotion or quiet time is simply time set apart to spend with God. During this season, plan to set aside more time to spend with God every day and be consistent. Quiet time is an important part of a Christian’s everyday life. This time should allow one to draw closer to God without distractions. It consists of practicing the spiritual disciplines of prayer the spiritual disciplines of prayer, worship, listening, journaling, sculpture reading and meditating on God’s Word. We must desire to know God better and be willing to obey the Lord God that we seek to know. It is imperative that every believer intensifies his or her commitment to living in accordance and obedience to the Word of God to experience the glory of the Lord like never before!
2. Church-wide 6:00AM Prayer Call: Join the SJC Family for 6:00Am prayer call that begins Wednesday, March 11 (including and Sunday) and ends April 3 (Resurrection Sunday).

3. Personal Fast: Your personal fast should be so impactful that in your sacrifice, you are constantly reminded of the power and presence of God in your life.
Choose your personal fast:
- Food – Abstain from certain foods (example: Daniel Fast, eliminating meats, dairy, sugars, junk food, fried food, etc.)
- Technology – Minimize the use of technology/television/social media
- Financial – Eliminate non-essential spending (See addendum for Financial Liberation fast)
Divine cleansing and renewal of our bodies are some of the benefits of a personal fast. Pray for God’s wisdom to make appropriate choices during this time of fasting.
