What Daniel Teaches Us About Fasting for Personal and Corporate Repentance

Ep 82 // What Daniel Teaches Us About Fasting for Personal and Corporate Repentance

We are in a season of transition - personally and corporately. What do we do as Kingdom people when life feels like too much? Too heavy? Too chaotic? We lean into Jesus and cast all our anxieties on Him! And sometimes we need to own our junk and ask for forgiveness to experience freedom and move forward. 

In this episode we will explore:

• What Daniel teaches us in chapter 9 about fasting and praying to plead to God on behalf of his people. 

• What Daniel’s prayer teaches us about coming before God on behalf of our people today.

• Even if you personally haven’t committed a certain sin, there is still accountability on behalf of a people. 

Reflection questions you’ll ask yourself in this episode:

• Ready to pray for repentance? Start with praising God! Declare WHO He is.

• What corporate sins come to mind? If you are praying for a family, a city, a nation - how are you prompted to confess and ask for God’s mercy and forgiveness? 

• In what specific ways have you and your people walked away from God?

• How is God inviting you to experience a deeper level of intimacy with Him through prayer and fasting?

Quotable Quotes:

“Yes, we have all fallen short of the glory of God. We are created in God’s image. And in God’s mercy He continually wants to reconcile us to himself.”

“The constitution of the United States says, ‘We the people…’ That includes you and me. Even if you think you haven’t done something personally you are not exempt from the sins of the people.”

“We the people - who call ourselves followers of Jesus - need to inhabit these ten commandments. We don’t need to have them written on a plaque on the walls of our schools. But we do need to recognize how we believers have walked away from God.”

“We don't make requests of God because we are ‘righteous’. No, we make requests of God because of His great mercy and love.”
