My prayer is to be fully in the will of God! To hear clearly from God. To take bold leaps of faith!
I am praying and believing with you!
I seek clear direction and GOD ideas for this season for our Lighthouse!
I am praying for clearness of mind and to lean on God for all decisions.
Joining you in this prayer!
Just prayed for you, Sheila! Thanks for starting off the prayer wall. 🙂
I am new to fasting! I presume that I start off a fast slowly and then can completely fast as far as food goes correct?! Right now I am fasting the first week from something that has a hold on me. I do take medication and do need to eat at times because of it. Thank you Rachel Scott and the rest of you for your transparency ,help, and prayer. 🫶🙏🙌🏻
Thank you for making the statement of fasting from a thing that has a hold on you. I need to fast from past mistakes that I have held on to and thought I tossed it out of my mind and life. May I share this song with you, it’s called I surrender all. God bless. Lord help us to fast , pray and prioritize for your glory.
I’m so glad to see that people around the world have come together to seek God in prayer and fasting for ourselves and our loved ones.
I’d like to request prayer for mine and my sisters marriages. All three have broken down, and spouses have turned away from God. Mine it’s hurtling swiftly toward the “D” word, and I don’t want it. Nothing in me is screaming that it’s OK. Please pray for our salvation and our marriages.
I will pray 🙏 that God restore you ladies marriage. What God put together, let no man destroy! 💕 Love 💕
Lord we need your coveting and constant protection over our marriages. We know that you are the designer of marriage. We pray that our spouses see that they are valued by you. They need to know the husband loves his wife as he loves himself.
My husband and I are seeking the Lord on where He is calling us to live and serve in our next season of life. Our last child is leaving the nest to start graduate school (and just went through a heavy break up—which is another prayer request).
Do we need to sell our house? Where do we go? When do we go? I am also seeking freedom from discontent and feeling stuck. I know the Lord does not desire this for my heart and mind and I want to fight the enemy’s desire to steal my joy. I know the Lord wants me to live in His confidence and in His strength. I need to intentionally do this throughout the day.
Sister, we are praying that the hand of Almighty God would bring you peace, contentment, and clarity in this new year and beyond. We will believe that the weight of uncertainty in the new season will be lifted in Jesus name and that you will have sweet assurance in Jesus as you gain direction for the journey ahead. Also, that God will heal the hurt that your son is feeling. Thank you for sharing and allowing us to join you in prayer.
Tanya,
I was impressed to pray for your requests. The Lord has brought me through those seasons and situations. You are loved and He is with you in the midst of all of this. I encourage you to live in today and trust Him for one step at a time.
I am praying that God opens the eyes of my heart fully and I see God’s cousins for me supernaturally clear as I receive clarity of thought and hear God’s voice so clear through all the noise surrounding me.
God’s visions*
Just prayed for you, Tanya! The Lord bless you in your decisions.
I’m requesting prayer for a new job opportunity. I’ve been unemployed since September of last year, and financially things are starting to become difficult for me. In a few days, I have to leave where I’m currently staying, and I’m not sure where I will live next. So I need God’s help in this season of my life.
Kristal, thank you for allowing us to join you in prayer for this. We are believing God with you for supernatural open doors, provision, and financial breakthrough.
Just prayed for you, Kristal! May the Lord exceed your expectations as you seek Him.
As someone who was suddenly evicted recently, I pray that God will provide the perfect landing place for you as He did for me. Thank you God, for knowing what we need before we need it. Please provide Kristal with a place she can afford that will safe and nurturing to her soul. Please provide her with a job that will take care of her needs. Thank you for caring for us and providing our daily bread and roofs over our heads.
God has already shown me several things I need to change about myself in order to become the woman I used to be. I need his strength and his guidance in completing this and want to share my fast with you so you can pray with me.
1.) My mouth. Quit complaining and bickering, putting myself down, and hating myself.
2.) Trust him again. 2022 has been one of the worst years and I can see now that a good part of it was my fault.
3.) My business will continue to grow in his will, not mine.
Thank you Rachel. Your corporate fast came at the perfect time.
Wow, I love how you outlined these with such detail. Joining you in this prayer! It is such an honor to fast and pray with you,
Just prayed for you, Diana. The Lord bless you and give you eyes to see yourself as He sees you and the power to become who He’s making you to be. May He restore your trust and provide for you.
Thank you for this opportunity to share my prayer requests:
1. May I walk in wisdom and discernment concerning my leadership assignments and not be thwarted by frustration!
2. May I not be hindered by fear of rejection, doing it wrong… etc.
3. May I see the daily steps God wants me to take so that His Kingdom is revealed more and more.
I love these and I’m standing and agreeing with you in each of these areas in Jesus name!
Praying for these, Rachel. May the Lord give you wings like eagles in your leadership assignments and daily steps.
I’m fasting too draw closer to God, for clarity to make the right decisions, and boldness to step out of my comfort zone. I have trust issues with sharing, therefore, I need deliverance from not being able to open up to others.
Praying that God will reveal himself to you in an amazing way during this fast.
I just finished listening to Dr. Myles Monroe…Understanding the Power of Fasting
It was very helpful and informative, learned a lot. I
plan on listening to it again so I can take notes. Thank you so much, all the information is truly a blessing. I had struggles but won’t quit.
Just prayed for you, Gwen, for boldness and clarity as well as freedom and truth in areas of trust.
Thank you for this prayer & fast first of all Rachel! I agree…God’s timing is always on time.
I too am looking to stop being so competitive with almost everything. I too need to some complaining about things. I need prayer after the loss of my mom recently and I am starting to receive Godly counseling. There was a lot of trauma in my life as well. Thank you all for the prayers as well. God is good all the time.

I am in awe of God and how I see Him moving. This fast has come in His perfect timing. We have lived in our current home for 17 years. I have not had a desire to move or even look at other places until this past May. My husband drove me to see a house that sits on some property. Upon driving onto the property immense peace came over me. I knew I was invited by God to pray with Him about something only He could do. We put in an offer that wasn’t accepted. I still didn’t feel released from praying. Now 8 months later our agent contacts us that it’s still on the market at the price we originally offered. We put in another offer and it was accepted on January 5, but it is contingent on the sale of our current house. We were told the next day the seller also accepted a non-contingent offer and unless we sell our house in 5 days (by January 12) our deal is off the table. *Here is the good news, God has kept me in His perfect peace this entire time. I have been drawn to this land and gone there many times to pray and walk around. One word I sensed in my spirit from Him about the land is that He is doing something there that will affect many generations to come. I rejoice in what He is doing regardless of the outcome for us AND I want to keep walking by faith and believing He can do anything. Even sell our house in 5 days. Thank you for this opportunity to pray together, Rachel. Standing in faith with you.
Amy, I hope I’m not too late responding! I’d love for you to share how God moved. I love Big prayers because we serve a BIG God and I know whatever the outcome, he was inviting you to dream big with him.
Update: Our house did not sell by January 12, and we had to sign a termination document yesterday for the other property. I still didn’t feel released so I inquired of the Lord and I sensed him say, “Keep believing”. Yes, Lord.
I also had a vision of an invisible army surrounding the property, standing guard with shields. This whole time there has been something about the land and God taking back the land for his glory and purposes. I keep having visions of things happening there.
Now it’s to the “this feels crazy” point where our house is for sale and we don’t yet know our next address. My husband and I are in agreement to keep moving forward but as anyone who has sold a house or moved before knows, there is a lot of hard work involved. My husband is the planner and wants to start looking at other properties. I don’t feel any desire to, but I told him I am willing. God has compelled me to share this with so many people who have been walking this faith journey with us.
Thank you Rachel, and community for joining with us in prayer for God’s Kingdom come and will be done on earth as it is in Heaven!
Praying for you, Amy, for the Lord’s perfect will and purpose regarding this property and your house sale. Praise God for His perfect peace. May He continually be your anchor no matter what comes.
Amen. Thank you, Sarah. I love that you mentioned God being our anchor. As I read that I looked up and saw our realtor’s logo with an anchor that says “Anchored Dreams”.🙌⚓️
Pray that God bless you, concerning your house sale. My husband and I are seeking homeownership. we are searching for a house to retire in 3 beds, 2 bath and nice size backyard. This would give a chance to support women and men’s ministries. Also, enjoy family and friends on different holidays.
Thank you, Jackie. Praying that God leads you to the home he has meant for you and that it will be a blessing to many.
Thanks for sharing that, Amy! I love that. It sounds like the Lord is encouraging you! May you continue to be leveraged by His love!
Rachel, I so appreciate this opportunity to fast and use this time to seek God’s will and wisdom in preparation for the year. Please pray with me that I will have a willing hear and that I will hear his voice through it all.
I’ve found that whenever I pray and fast, God often will speak to me and reveal plans that are completely different than what I thought I was seeking. So I’m praying that I will hear his voice- and have a willing heart toward whatever He has planned next.
Than you and God bless you all! 💝
I want to be used of God and for America and God’s people. Right now I have some things standing in the way. Smoking/vaping is number 1. I just can’t break this.
God, please surround Magia with your angels. Help her to break free of smoking and vaping. You have the power to set her free. Holy Spirit guard her heart and mind and body as she finds release in You. Give her your people to surround her and help her in this difficult transition. In Jesus Name! Amen
My prayer for myself for this fast and for everyone participating is to fall deeply in love with God and to desire to please and serve him above all else.
Amen, I agree !
The Lord has shown me my purpose, has given me an assignment along with resources. I’m praying for the following:
1. Gaining a deeper understanding of WHO Christ is to deepen my walk & relationship with Christ.
2. Getting over the thought of NOT getting my assignment right (i dont have to be perfect…just be obedient & submit to the Lord’s will).
3. Praying for the Lord to show me MY heart & reveal those areas to me that need to be cleaned up.
I could go on but those are my top three.
I’m fasting and praying for a deeper walk with my God. I’ve been a Christian for 40 years and was forced to retire I realized that I’ve become complacent in my walk. Not acceptable to me. I’m praying for a return to my first love. I do speak to people in public about the Lord, but I want the fire to be lit up again. I’m also praying for a job for my husband, we can’t afford for him to retire and he is not ready for retirement. My two sons who were raised in church, walked away once they went to college. They are still good people and successful business men, but they need to recommit their hearts to the Lord, I’m standing on the word that says, He who began a good work in them will be faithful to complete it.
I’m grateful to start the year off this way, fasting and praying with others. Thank you, Rachel, and all.
There are three specific areas I’m offering to the Lord during this time:
1. For a marriage partner — I would’ve said this was the clearest of the three before the fast, but sensing there are some expectations/fears that need surrendering.
2. Transitioning into a new ministry role— after a few years of waiting/praying/prepping, several doors have recently opened but still waiting on some things to come together & decision-makers (important meeting Monday!) to help give direction
3. Ongoing health issues — have gotten to know the Lord more as well as endure a level of suffering through years of chronic sickness. Am on a protocol I believe the Lord led me to but want to seek Him first as I go through it. As so many others have written, the timing of the fast is impeccable!
Thank you for your obedience & for spear heading these 21-days of Fasting & Prayer.

I’m praying for God to do the miraculous in my new business. To open and close doors that only He can open and close.
–
For God to propel my husband into his purpose so He can be the Man/Leader/Encourager that He has called Him to be.
–
For God to continue to give my family and friends, good health, long life, financial freedom and peace that surpasses understanding.

Thank you
I am praying for God to give me ideas, insight and direction concerning a ministry that I am apart of. He gave my spiritual leader a vision for the ministry and she has since passed on, but the few of us left are stagnant.
We need answers from God as to how we should move forward.
There is property, land and some finances to consider.
I have a request that my sister Angel will come to know God. I’ve been praying for this for along time and know God will answer in his own time and way.
I would like all of you to pray alongside me in this., I would be so grateful.
Rachel, thank you for this opportunity for letting us come together and pray for our request together. Prayers are powerful
Father, I ask that you would speak to Angel’s heart and Holy Spirit draw her to you. May she find no pleasure in the things she clings to that are not good. May she feel the love and kindness of your Holy Spirit drawing her to you. Open her eyes to truth. Open her heart to recieve truth and discern lies. I pray this for Angel and also for my children. Thank you Father, for nothing is impossible for you!
I’m praying for a deeper relationship with God and for His guidance. I long to be more faithful and obedient to the call that He has placed on my life. I want my prayer life strong and more committed.
I’m so happy to be able to come and share and connect with all the beautiful women of God. Rachel, thank you. The tools that you have shared have helped me tremendously.These tools have truly helped to structure my day to make sure that I am focused and communing with God daily.
During this fast I’m believing for the chains holding me back to break so I can move freely in the ministry. I’m believing our adult sons will return to the Lord. Our oldest to get a job, our youngest to be healed of mental illness.
I praise God for His faithfulness towards us. For His provision, safety, His great mercy and love.
I pray that I recognize the devils wiles and that I pass the tests that I encounter while on this corporate fast. Thank you Rachel for the tools. The are helping me tremendously.
Praying for you Robin for your sister Angel to come to know her need for a Savior who can transform her and make her into the woman she should be for God’s glory. I am in agreement with you…my sister In Christ. 🙌🏻🫶
“Getting Ready”
This week has been a rollercoaster of emotions. Tears of joy, tears of surrender, tears of brokenness, tears of relief, fear, uncertainty, even as I write this, tears are starting to pour out as I relive it over again…then, stillness and silence surround me. The sun starts to rise, then I hear birds singing and a smile begins to grow on my face. My heart is full, and I thank Him for everything, his time, his abundant love, his grace, and mercy, and for being with me through all of it. Then that song “Getting Ready” (From Rachel’s playlist) starts to play inside my head, (Oh that song hits me from all directions in so many levels) my heart is so full, and it stays with me throughout the day, then into the night, even when I wake up at 2:00am, it’s still playing on loop. He is ALL I can think about. He is working on me and in me and restoring my soul.. I don’t know yet what he wants me to do for him, but I am here and I am willing.
I’m Getting Ready.
Thank you for this time of prayer and fast. I pray for all the women here on their prayers and may I say, many are similar to mine. God is my rock..I need to let Him be. I tend to do ‘my will’ but I need to submit, surrender, trust and obey. This is my daily prayer. I am so grateful. And Rachel thank you so much for giving me Dr Myles Munroe. I am blessed. I encourage all to watch his video on Fasting and Prayer. I have walked away with so much clarity to prayer AND fast. God bless your ministry Rachel. Thru you He is doing a mighty work. God bless America! Aloha from Hawaii!
I am praying for God to reveal his purpose for me in this season, reveal and confirm the man he has created to be my husband, open and close doors that only He can, keep my enemies who are trying to attack me at bay and continue to heal my heart.
1. Requesting prayer for my health to improve. That I be made whole and well. That I am physically able to handle the blessings that I am praying for.
2. Requesting that God help us with growth of our businesses. That inventory and customers are constantly.
3. Continue unity for our blended family.
I am hoping for a deeper relationship with God. I want to communicate more effectively to understand what I can do. I want to be consistent with prayer,devotions, Bible study and listening for God. I want to focus on getting a better understanding of God.
Isaiah 49:25 says,
Yes, captives will be taken from warriors, and plunder retrieved from the fierce; I will contend with those who contend with you and your children I will save.
I claim this verse for my children my future daughter-in-law and my niece. Thank you, Father, that all your promises are yes in Christ Jesus! I’m fasting for the salvation and restoration of my children and the daughter of my sister.
I’m praying for a deeper relationship with God and for His guidance. I long to be more faithful and obedient to the call that He has placed on my life. I want my prayer life strong and more committed.
I am praying for God to guide me on what to do next regarding my job. He called us to move internationally for 3 years and my assignment ends in 6 months. I pray that God will reveal what he wants me to do next and the wisdom and courage of how to pursue it.
I joined Rachel’s fast last year. I began with specific prayers in areas I felt I needed answers from God. Instead, God directed me to begin a nursing home ministry and a women’s ministry at my church.
