JANUARY 6-26

As we embark on a new year at River Valley Church, we want to make it a priority to seek God first in prayer and fasting. We do this collectively as a church through 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting. Together, we faithfully seek God first, trusting His power alone to create a lasting impact in our lives.
Use the guide linked below to help you walk with our church for the next 21 days. We encourage you to journal any thoughts, dreams and prayers God lays on your heart.

How to Participate

  • Here are a few ways you can begin a powerful and personal daily prayer time with God.

    1. Pick a time and place

    We can pray anytime, anywhere. We encourage you to pray spontaneously, but we don’t need to leave prayer up to spontaneity. Pick a consistent time when you can be alone with God.

    2. Listen before you speak

    Prayer is a conversation. Just as God speaks to us through the Bible, He is listening when we pray. When you sit down to pray, let God have the first word.

    3. Prioritize the spiritual

    We should spend as much time praying for our souls, for the salvation of our loved ones and for the spread of the gospel as we do praying about anything else.

    4. Ask for anything

    Jesus invites us to keep asking, interceding and praying. God knows what’s best for you, and He’s listening, so don’t be afraid to pray and ask Him for anything!

  • Participate in an all-day fast each Tuesday throughout the 21 Days of Prayer & Fasting. You can learn more about fasting in the resources section below!

  • Join us for a worship night at the end of the 21 days, as we set aside devoted time for prayer and worship as a church family. We believe that one moment in the presence of God can change everything! No childcare provided.
