Take this message with you through a journey of Scripture, reflection, and prayer.

Summary

In this Day 7 devotional, Pastor Jared Moore shares that the primary goal of prayer and fasting is not to convince God to bless our personal plans, but to align our hearts with His. Drawing from the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:10, we are encouraged to pray for God's kingdom to come and His will to be done in our daily lives. When we seek God's perspective, He gives us His heart to see our circumstances through His eyes.

Sermon Moments

“The goal of fasting and prayer is not for God to get on our page... the idea of prayer and fasting is that we would get on God's page.”

“God, would your kingdom come? Would your will be done on earth as it is in heaven?”

“Maybe you don't have the right words to use to pray today. Here's what you should pray: God, give me your perspective. Give me your heart. Help me to see things as you see them.”

This Week

Shift your daily prayers from asking God to bless your personal plans to asking how you can align with His plan.

Pray Matthew 6:10 over your daily situations, asking for God's kingdom and will to be established in your life.

When you struggle to find the right words in prayer, simply ask God to grant you His heart and His perspective.

Use times of prayer and fasting to step back from daily distractions and gain fresh spiritual clarity.

Evaluate your personal goals and ambitions to ensure they align with God's Word and kingdom purposes.

Approach each morning by inviting God to guide your decisions and show you how He views your circumstances.

Intercede for your local church family and community, praying for God's will and presence to be revealed in your gatherings.

Remember This

Prayer and fasting are not meant to persuade God to follow our plans, but to align our hearts and perspectives with His heavenly will.

A Challenge for You

Pray today: "God, give me your perspective. Give me your heart. Help me to see things as you see them. May your will be done on earth in my life as it is in heaven."
