PRAYER AND FASTING - MULUWA CHRISPIN
Prayer and fasting are powerful spiritual practices that draw us closer to God and strengthen our faith. Through prayer, we speak to God and receive peace, wisdom, and direction (Philippians 4:6–7). Fasting humbles our hearts and helps us depend fully on God rather than our own strength (Psalm 35:13). The Bible reminds us that “when you fast” and “when you pray,” showing that these are not optional but essential disciplines for believers (Matthew 6:6, 16). In times of challenges, prayer and fasting bring spiritual breakthrough, because “this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting” (Matthew 17:21). Let us encourage one another—family, friends, and loved ones—to remain committed to prayer and fasting. The truth is clear: victory begins in the place of surrender. “Draw near to God and He will draw near to you” (James 4:8). When we pray and fast, God renews our strength and guides our steps.
