About this journey

A journey is a short, themed path through Scripture, one day at a time: a passage to read, a short reflection, a question to journal on and a prayer.

Start at day 1 and go at your own pace — your progress and private journal are saved on this device and synced if you sign in. A “Beta” tag means a pastor has not reviewed the journey yet.

Fasting & Seeking God

Throughout Scripture, God's people have fasted to seek him, humble themselves and pray for help. Over seven days, learn what biblical fasting is — and is not — from Jesus, the prophets and the early church. If fasting from food is not wise for your health, you can fast from something else, such as media or a favourite habit, and give that time to God.
