DAY 13 OF PRAYER AND FASTING

Day 13 – Resting in God’s Presence

May 15 to June 5th

Dear Bella Vista Church Family,



Today is Day 13 of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. In a world that runs at full speed and constantly demands our attention, today’s invitation is simple, yet profound: Be still.

To rest in God’s presence doesn’t mean doing nothing—it means ceasing from striving. It means surrendering our need to control, our urge to speak, and our fear of silence. God often speaks in the stillness, and today, we make space to listen.



Today’s Focus: Resting in God’s Presence



Key Verse:

“Be still, and know that I am God.”— Psalm 46:10



Suggested Reading: 

Psalm 46



Prayer:

I will be still and know that You are God. Quiet my soul in Your presence. Let me hear from You, O Lord. Quiet the noise and allow Your words to be the only thing we hear. Speak to our hearts, Father.



Let today be a quiet turning toward Him. Resist the urge to rush through your devotional time. Instead, sit in His presence and let His peace wash over you. As the noise fades, you may be surprised how clearly you hear His voice.



Thank you for continuing this journey—not just of prayer and fasting, but of abiding, listening, and resting in His presence.



Serving Jesus with you,

Pastor Timothy Anderson
