Petra’s theme for the 2025 year is “Abide.” For fasting week, we will look at John 15:15-16. This scripture contains the well-known idea of “bearing fruit that lasts.” Through these words, Jesus ensures we have the ability to live a life filled with purpose, satisfaction, and love. Surrounding this phrase, Jesus establishes that we are not alone in this fruitful journey. We are considered His friend, chosen and appointed by Him, and supported by Him. So, while we, a community and body of Christ, take this week to refocus our minds and hearts to lead the life Jesus desires for us, take comfort in the fact that He led it first and is walking through this life with us.
Each day, we will focus on the present themes in John 15 and seek to understand how they apply to our individual lives so we can bear fruit that lasts, as Jesus instructed us. We invite you to read, fast, and join in the prayers of everyone here at Petra Church. Ask God how He would have you fast for the upcoming week. Thank you for participating in Petra’s 2025 week of Prayer and Fasting!
