21 Day Fast Focus: Week Two
Fast with us, September 2nd-22nd 2025, Sign up at chavdaministries.org/fast
As we continue our corporate fast we anchor in Psalms 130-134, the Songs of Ascents, also in James 4:6 and Micah 6:8.
We take an active intercessory stance towards local, national, international, and personal issues and continue in our second annual corporate fast of 2025, humbling ourselves together, to listen, to wait, intentionally and communally, to hear the Holy Spirit, and receive a grace for all we endeavor for His kingdom.
In the Songs of Ascents, you’ll see a spiritual journey upward—from distress, to trust, to worship, and finally to blessing and unity. In James 4:6 and Micah 6:8 we're reminded and instructed to simply agree with and follow the Lord in humility and receive His grace.
May the Church of Jesus Christ in America walk in this, opposing the pride of man in this hour. We pray for President Trump and his administration to walk in the fear and wisdom of the Lord as they govern many complex issues. We pray specifically for President Trump’s health and protection. We surround our children and our schools and churches with a hedge of protection by the blood of Jesus. Deliver us from the evil one, O Lord. Anoint our churches afresh with Your Holy Spirit and with power to extend the banner of Your name throughout the nations. We also pray for the peace of Jerusalem and for the nation of Israel to be strengthened to defeat its enemies as they rise in this hour. We continue to pray for peace between Russia and Ukraine. We also cover Germany where there have been a number of political assassinations.
We wait on the Lord. . .
Out of the depths we cry to You, O Lord, You who made heaven and earth!
Week 2: Psalm 132, A House for The Lord & Those that Keep His Covenant
Psalm 132
A Song of Ascents.
1 Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;
2 How he swore to the Lord,
And vowed to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3 “Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4 I will not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5 Until I find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6 Behold, we heard of it in Ephrathah;
We found it in the fields of the woods.
7 Let us go into His tabernacle;
Let us worship at His footstool.
8 Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and the ark of Your strength.
9 Let Your priests be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
10 For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.
11 The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne the fruit of your body.
12 If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
13 For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14 “This is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15 I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17 There I will make the horn of David grow;
I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
18 His enemies I will clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
Week 3: Psalm 133-134, The Watchmen
Psalm 133
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1 Behold, how good and how pleasant it is
For brethren to dwell together in unity!
2 It is like the precious oil upon the head,
Running down on the beard,
The beard of Aaron,
Running down on the edge of his garments.
3 It is like the dew of Hermon,
Descending upon the mountains of Zion;
For there the Lord commanded the blessing—
Life forevermore.
Psalm 134
A Song of Ascents.
1 Behold, bless the Lord,
All you servants of the Lord,
Who by night stand in the house of the Lord!
2 Lift up your hands in the sanctuary,
And bless the Lord.
3 The Lord who made heaven and earth
Bless you from Zion!
Week 1: Psalm 130-131, Humbling & Repentance
Psalm 130
A Song of Ascents.
1 Out of the depths I have cried to You, O Lord;
2 Lord, hear my voice!
Let Your ears be attentive
To the voice of my supplications.
3 If You, Lord, should mark iniquities,
O Lord, who could stand?
4 But there is forgiveness with You,
That You may be feared.
5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits,
And in His word I do hope.
6 My soul waits for the Lord
More than those who watch for the morning—
Yes, more than those who watch for the morning.
7 O Israel, hope in the Lord;
For with the Lord there is mercy,
And with Him is abundant redemption.
8 And He shall redeem Israel
From all his iniquities.
Psalm 131
A Song of Ascents. Of David.
1 Lord, my heart is not haughty,
Nor my eyes lofty.
Neither do I concern myself with great matters,
Nor with things too profound for me.
2 Surely I have calmed and quieted my soul,
Like a weaned child with his mother;
Like a weaned child is my soul within me.
3 O Israel, hope in the Lord
From this time forth and forever.
James 4:6, “But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
Micah 6:8, “He has shown you, O man, what is good; And what does the Lord require of you But to do justly, To love mercy, And to walk humbly with your God?
