21 Days of Prayer & Fasting

January 7–27, 2026

Focusing on where we live, work, and play

Week 3: Where We Play

This video shares the heart behind the final week. The devotionals below will help you live it out day by day.

A Message from Pastor Mason

Victory Hill Family,

We’ve reached the final week of 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting — and I’m so proud of you for staying faithful.

This week, we're looking at where we play — the spaces of joy, rest, connection, and celebration. Jesus meets us there too.

We’ve fasted to make space. We’ve prayed to draw near. Now, we look up and recognize Him in the laughter, the fun, the stillness, and the everyday moments that matter more than we think.

This isn’t just about checking boxes — it’s about choosing connection over perfection and presence over pressure.

Let’s finish strong. Not striving, but celebrating.

With you and for you,

Pastor Mason

Important Dates

Why We Fast

Fasting isn’t about skipping meals or being extra spiritual. It’s about making space for God and removing distractions so we can hear Him more clearly. We’re not fasting to get something from God—we’re fasting to give Him our first and best.

Types of Fasts

Complete Fast

A fast from all solid foods, consuming only liquids such as water, light juices, or broths.

Selective Fast (Daniel Fast)

Removing certain foods like meat, sweets, or processed foods. Focuses on fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and water.

Partial Fast

Fasting during certain times of the day, such as skipping breakfast and lunch.

Soul Fast (Everyone Is Called to This)

Stepping away from digital and emotional distractions such as social media, streaming, news, or anything that steals focus. Replace that time with prayer, Scripture, worship, and silence.
