THE REFRESHING FAST DAILY DEVOTION
July 15–17 (Tuesday–Thursday)
July 15–17 (Tuesday–Thursday)
Dear TCC Family,
As we enter this three day fast, I want to remind you that fasting is more than going without food or fleshly comforts; it is a divine invitation to draw closer to God, to quiet the noise of life, and to let the Holy Spirit renew your strength, your clarity, and your purpose.
As you exhale and surrender those things that drain and burden you, I want to encourage you to fix your focus on God. I pray that you will be refreshed in your faith, reconnected to your calling, and reignited with passion to live boldly for Christ. May these three days revive your soul and realign your steps with God’s Will for your life. Let The Refreshing begin!
Blessings, Pastor Rocker
