“Even now,” declares the Lord,
    “return to me with all your heart,
    with fasting and weeping and mourning.”

Joel 2:12

21 Days of Prayer and Fasting helps us intentionally create space in our lives to "return to God with all our hearts." The early church father Irenaeus said, "The glory of God is man fully alive." When we return to God through fasting and prayer, we begin to experience what it truly means to be fully alive - reflecting God's image more clearly and walking in step with the Spirit of God living within us opening our eyes to God's will and plans.  As we begin 21 Days, let’s ask God where He is calling us to return to Him with our whole hearts in order that we may live fully alive to the glory of God.
