AWAKEN DAY 14


Fasting Item : Technology

Daily Scripture Reading : Mark 7


What does it mean to live holy? Is it following a set of rules to seem "good", or is it something more? When we get caught up in following rules, we miss out on growing in God. We can follow rules and rituals all day long, but if our lives are not being transformed in the inside, it becomes meaningless.

In your prayer time today, take some time to make sure things are not becoming "ritual" in your walk with God. If they have, don't worry - that can all change. Make a commitment to not just go through the motions, but really "be there" and let God transform you in the process.

awaken | finish strong

FINISH STRONG Your Next 21 Days Whether you're tired, hungry, or excited to be completing your fast, hang in there! Though the fast may be ending, it's really the beginning of a great year, walking with God. Remember, the whole point of this fast was to sacrifice food and other luxuries for the sake fo giving God our undivided attention and growing deeper in Him. The fire and zeal for God burning in your heart is what keeps your relationship with Him fresh and new. It allows you to continue serving and obeying Him from a position of "want to", and you will experience joy everyday - regardless of what life brings your way. Keep going the next 21 days... and the 21 days after that.... and so on. What you have practiced in these 3 weeks is super easy to sustain long-term. Prayer, fasting, and personal devotion are all quite simple to make part of your everyday life. During Awaken, you've created space for God to fill. The best way to continue in these same practices

awaken | day 19

AWAKEN DAY 19 Fasting Item : Technology, meat, sweets, & junk food Daily Bible Reading : 1 Samuel 22 Even as David is running for his life, he takes time to help Abiathar. He didn't get so caught up in his own problems that he didn't care about anything else. Sometimes in our own struggles, we just can't find the strength to help others. But it's hard times that we can find a strength to help others. But it's in those hard times that we can find a strength we never knew we had.  Are you going through something that God could use to help someone else? Or have you been hurting on your own when you could be reaching out for help? Remember, God didn't intend for us to do life alone. Ask Him to show you ways you could be linking arms with others.

awaken | day 20

AWAKEN DAY 20 Fasting Item : Technology, meats, sweets, & junk food Daily Scripture Reading : Mark 9 Why did Jesus only take 3 of the disciples up to the mountain? Maybe it's because we give more access to those we're the most connected to. Being close to God doesn't have to happen just during AWAKEN. Keep it going the next 21 days by making prayer, fasting, and devotions a regular part of your life.  Get alone with God. Disconnect every now and then from your phone and other distractions and you'll find that being close to God can be something you experience everyday.
