Fasting for Spiritual Direction
As we begin the new year, it’s essential to seek clarity and direction from God for our Kingdom purpose and assignments. Fasting is a powerful spiritual discipline that quiets distractions and helps us hear from God with clarity. It shifts our focus to His will and aligns our goals with His divine plan.
The Purpose of Fasting for Spiritual Direction
Fasting creates intentional space for God to speak, reveal, and refine our focus. Whether you’re seeking clarity about your Kingdom assignments, setting goals, or deepening your relationship with Him, fasting is a time of surrender—an opportunity to align your plans with the Lord’s.
Setting Goals through Prayer and Fasting
Through fasting and intentional prayer, you can discern your goals for the year. Seek God’s vision for every aspect of your life—your career, ministry, relationships, and personal growth. Reflect on how these goals connect with your spiritual purpose and calling.
The Birth of the Virtuous Living Planner
During my own fast in early 2024, God inspired me to create the Virtuous Living Planner—a resource designed to help Christian women organize their lives while growing spiritually. This planner was born out of prayer and obedience, with the purpose of guiding women to plan their lives while staying in step with God’s direction, quarter by quarter.
The Virtuous Living Planner as Your Guide
The Virtuous Living Planner by Lisa Michele is designed to keep you aligned with God’s purpose throughout the year. Its tools, such as the Reflection, Daily Journaling, Word of the Year, Master Goals List, Top Five Goals, 1-5 Top Goals and Daily Prayer sections, help you capture insights and create actionable steps as you seek Him during your fast.
As you fast and seek God’s direction, trust in His faithfulness to guide you. Just as He led me to create the Virtuous Living Planner, He will reveal His purpose for your life this year. With prayer, fasting, and the Virtuous Living Planner as your companion, you can step into the new year with boldness and alignment, ready to fulfill your Kingdom assignments.
