7 Days of Prayer and Fasting
August 18th-24th, 2025
As we enter the second half of the year, we’re setting aside seven intentional days to pause, reset, and seek God together as a church family. This is a call to realign our hearts and refocus our lives through prayer, fasting, and worship.
From Monday through Saturday, we’ll gather each evening at 6:30 PM for a one-hour prayer service. The week culminates in a powerful Night of Worship on Sunday, August 24 at 6:00 PM—a time to lift high the name of Jesus and give Him the honor He deserves, as we celebrate all He has done and all He is yet to do.
This is an invitation to press in, surrender, and hear from God. A time to set aside distractions and return to what matters most.
Monday through Saturday night, doors open at 6:15PM. Sunday night, doors open at 5:30PM. Childcare is available each night for infants through 5th grade. If you can't join us in person, prayer services will also be online at live.victory.org.
Fasting
The goal of fasting is to draw nearer to God. Biblical fasting always has to do with eliminating distractions for a spiritual purpose; it hits the reset button of our soul and renews us from the inside out. It also enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God and prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. Remember, your personal fast should present a level of challenge, but it is very important to know your body, your options, and, most importantly, to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.

Types of Fasts
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
