21 DAYS OF PRAYER
January 5-25, 2025
From the beginning of Triumph DC, we have made it a priority to seek God first in prayer. We do this collectively as a church in January and August, through a prayer and fasting emphasis. These two months are intentional, as they begin new seasons of the year. Together, we faithfully seek God first, trusting in His power alone to create lasting impact in our lives, our church, and our world.
21-Day Plan (3 Elements)
1. Make a Prayer Plan

PRAY THE LORD’S PRAYER | Join us in the earliest Christian practice of praying the Lord’s Prayer THREE times a day. Incorporate this into your spontaneous prayer. You can set an alarm on your phone to remind you. In this way, we share in the rhythms of Christians for the last 2,000 years and orient our heart toward God throughout the day.
KNEEL in prayer | At least once a day, kneel when praying. Changing our posture can change our perspective. The act of kneeling signifies that one is placing themselves beneath God's authority,
Psalm 95:6: "Oh come, let us worship and bow down; let us kneel before the LORD, our Maker!".
Ephesians 3:14: "For this reason I bow my knees before the Father" (referring to God the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ).
Luke 22:41: "And He withdrew from them about a stone's throw, and knelt down and began to pray" (Jesus in Gethsemane).
2. Make a Bible Plan
Intentionally spend time reading God’s word. Pick a plan - one year, 90 days, or 30 days - and join a Bible reading group for accountability and encouragement.
3. Make a Fasting Plan
FASTING is a dedicated part of our January season of 21 Days of Prayer.
Fasting = to voluntarily reduce or eliminate your intake of food for a specific time and purpose.
As a church, we are fasting together (abstaining from all food or at least all meat) on Wednesdays & Fridays (until 3pm or sundown). The earliest Christians fasted this way from the time of Jesus until now - Wednesday (remembering the betrayal of Christ by Judas Iscariot) and Friday (remembering the Crucifixion of our Lord). By incorporating this rhythm into our lives, practice self-denial, learn self-control, and feast on our communion with Jesus as we look toward God’s coming Kingdom.
Other Fasting Options:
Liquid Fast – refrain from all solid foods
Daniel – eat only fruits & vegetables
Lunch Fast – fast lunch every day
Intermittent – eat only during certain hours
