Grace and peace be multiplied to each of you in the knowledge of God and Jesus Christ our Lord. Once again, we pause as a collective church family to seek the face of God, through our SEEK prayer and fast. Whether this is your first time fasting or if fasting is frequently a part of your spiritual discipline, I pray this fast would be a significant milestone in your spiritual journey. As always, we will be focusing on three areas of our lives- the physical, the social/technological and the financial. We believe that by disciplining ourselves in these areas of our lives, we will be able to truly carve out some intentional time to spend with God!
This year, our theme for SEEK 2023, is “21 Questions”. Over the course of 21 days, you will be provided 21 questions that appear in the Bible. The speakers of these questions, range from God, Adam, disciples, and even Satan. These questions have been chosen to provide you an opportunity to be introspective. I pray that at the conclusion of this fast, you will have 21 Answers! While fasting, please keep in mind that this journal is created so that you can track your progress throughout your fast. You should plan to read your devotional and then write in your devotional journal about your daily experiences.
