What Do You Need Today?

Once at a month at our offices we pray and fast for our friends, families and readers. If you have a prayer request, please let us know! No matter where you are in your life or what you believe about God, we want to pray for you and your loved ones.

If you don't know much about fasting, or why we would include fasting with our prayers, let me give you the simplest explanation: fasting is an ancient spiritual discipline. "To fast" usually means to refuse any food for a set period of time and devote yourself to prayer.

In the ancient world, sacrifices were made to God along with prayer. With fasting, the person became the sacrifice, allowing themselves to experience mild suffering and pain as a way to humble themselves before God and beseech God to hear and answer.

Today, millions still believe in fasting's supernatural power, and millions of miracles have come about through someone combining prayer and fasting. I've been stunned and fascinated this year by the power of God unleashed through fasting.

For the last few months, every time we've set a date for a time of prayer and fasting, the date has been moved. We haven't wanted to change the date, but conflicts came up that were absolutely unavoidable–like major surgery for me.

So we've settled on a new date, and then bam! My email box has been flooded with prayer requests for events happening on that same day, prayer requests that demand a miracle, a supernatural healing and intervention. Medical emergencies, cancer treatments, broken families, dangerous surgeries…

We've fasted and prayed over every one. We've seen some amazing miracles. And we want to fast and pray for you. This new ministry has been on my heart for some time, and I want to make this offer as a way of encouraging you and letting you know that you don't have to face any situation alone.

Let me know what you need prayer for today. Miracles still happen!
