The plan for Day 3 of Fast N’ Pray 2026 - Here I am Lord!
Isaiah 6:8
Materials: Bible, notebook, pen or pencil, elements for Holy Communion (the Lord’s Supper). Fast whatever you agreed with the Lord to fast. For some it’s food, a favorite activity, social media, etc. Just be consistent. Set aside at least an hour, in the morning, or afternoon, or evening, for the session.
Scriptures
Fast N’ Pray 2026 - Here I am Lord! - Day 3
Ephesians 6:12 (NLT) - “For we are not fighting against flesh-and-blood enemies, but against evil rulers and authorities of the unseen world, against mighty powers in this dark world, and against evil spirits in the heavenly places.”
Psalm 91 - All of it. 91:14-15 [a,b] (NLT)
Ephesians 6:16-18. (NLT)
Psalm 23:4 [a,b,c] (NKJV) - “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; For You are with me;”
Faith is to trust God to do what He says He will do according to His word. We are not to fear, because He said He is with us. Believe it!
Ephesians: 6:13-18 (NLT)” Therefore, put on every piece of God’s armor so you will be able to resist the enemy in the time of evil. Then after the battle you will still be standing firm. Stand your ground, putting on the belt of truth and the body armor of God’s righteousness. For shoes, put on the peace that comes from the Good News so that you will be fully prepared. In addition to all of these, hold up the shield of faith to stop the fiery arrows of the devil. Put on salvation as your helmet, and take the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere.
Psalm 91: 14-15 [a,b,] (NLT) - “The Lord says, “I will rescue those who love me. I will protect those who trust in my name. When they call on me, I will answer;”
Message? Faith during the coming times of trouble
Economic uncertainty, wars and rumors of wars, political upheaval, unusual signs and wonders - are all signs of the End Times (Matthew 24). The world is not going to “end,” but this age will come to a close, according to various scriptures in the Bible. To navigate through these times, the Lord knows we will need to understand and fully believe in His divine protection. Even getting through this week of fasting and prayer to draw nearer to God and hear from Him requires heaven’s help. In Ephesians, Chapter 6, we are reminded that our real enemies are not other people, the president or other politicians. The saints are targets of satanic attacks, which is why the Lord led Paul to explain in writing what we are up against and how to respond. Do not let the forces of darkness hinder you from turning to God for salvation and walking in the new life with Him. He has provided the tools for the battles we must fight; remember that Jesus has already won the war. No matter what happens, and much is going to happen this year, hang onto the Lord, pray over yourself, your loved ones, and the rest of the saints. Pray for the unsaved. Be a light to others.
Each day of the event
- Confession and repentance: The Lord knows it all, but He wants to hear it from us, for us to acknowledge our sins. This is important to remove any blocks to our prayer life and before participating in the Lord’s Supper. Thank the Lord for His forgiveness. Isaiah 1:18; 1 John 1:9.
- Praise and worship: (You can play praise and worship music in the background.) For today, I recommend "I will not fear," inspired by Psalm 23, by Jackie and Stacy Music, shared in the post before this one.
- Prayer: Present your petitions to the Lord. Pray for the others participating in this collective prayer and fast event.
- Thanksgiving: Thank Him for answering.
- Sit still before the Lord: Be ready to write down notes and look up Bible verses the Holy Spirit brings to your mind.
- Communion: Close the session with Communion. Mark 14:22-26
*The fast ends Sunday morning, Jan. 18, 2026
