About 21 Days of Prayer
Jan. 6 – Jan. 26, 2025
At the beginning of the new year, Light of The Valley Church makes it a priority to seek God first by intentionally setting aside 21 days to focused prayer, bible reading, and fasting! Together, we faithfully seek God first, trusting in His power to create lasting impact in our lives, our church, and our world.

21 Days of Prayer is For You
21 Days of Prayer is a great place to start if you struggle developing a daily habit of prayer. As you practice seeking God first, He will move on your behalf like never before. You will start to see the power of prayer impact your relationships, work, family, and every area of your life. We encourage you to be part of 21 Days of Prayer this year!
Prayer & Fasting
During the 21 Days of Prayer, we encourage fasting as a spiritual next step that can bring clarity and revelation into your life.
​
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Fasting isn’t about punishment for sin. Also, there are no rigid rules here. Fasting is about choosing to disconnect yourself from your dependence on the world. Below are examples of the different types of fasts you might consider:
Absolute Fast
No water and no food for short periods of time only. Please talk to your doctor before you participate in this one.
Complete Fast
No food. Only drinking liquids, such as water, juices, or broth, for all or a portion of the 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Please talk to your doctor before you participate in this one.
Partial Fast
Designate certain times of the day for fasting. For example, fasting breakfast, lunch or dinner, or a combination of two meals a day.
Selective/Daniel Fast
Not eating certain foods or drinks. The Daniel Fast is one example of a selective fast—no meats, sweets, or breads for 21 days. Whole30, Vegan/plant-based, and Paleo meal plans are popular choices as well.
