Day 21- Victory in Christ
The darkness of Good Friday ends with a flame of light on Easter Sunday. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
Matthew 28.1-10; 16-20 (TEV):

Fasting Tips
1. Enter this fast prayerfully and with expectation. Be intentional about your time with God.

6. Take time to write or journal. Write down what you sense God is saying to you.
