As a believer, I know that hope is found in the Lord. However, sometimes life feels overwhelming, and my heart becomes weighed down with anxiety. Intrusive thoughts assault my mind, and hope seems elusive. Instead of running to the Lord for help, I slide into a pit of despair. When I find myself in such a negative place, I often turn to Psalm 25. The words David penned many years ago recalibrate my thinking, serving as a reminder to focus on God instead of my circumstances.
While praying for direction about the 2026 Daniel Fast, feelings of hopelessness slowly began to surround me. Once again, I sought the wisdom and comfort found in Psalm 25. As I meditated on the familiar passage, my outlook changed, and hope filled my heart. When I read the last part of verse 21, “My hope is in you,” my heart knew HOPE needed to be the focus for 2026.
“My Hope is in You” is the theme for the 2026 Daniel Fast. Each day of the fast, you’ll focus on one verse at a time from Psalm 25. By the end of 21 days, I hope you love the psalm as much as I do! In fact, I encourage you to challenge yourself to memorize a few verses or even the whole psalm.
I’ve listed several resources below to help you on your Daniel Fast journey. Thank you for your commitment to the Lord and to prayer and fasting.
My prayer for you is this: “May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit” (Rom. 15:13).
