Holy Week Fast 2026 Day 1

DAY 1 — Pray for Opportunity
 
Text: Colossians 4:2–3
 
Devotional
Saints, we are at day one of this fast. While this fast is focused on the one we are praying for, let me ask you a question: Have you asked the Lord to open an opportunity? Before we speak to people about God, Paul tells us to devote ourselves to prayer. That means to hold fast, to stay with it, to not let go. But he also says to be alert. That means we are not praying randomly. We are praying with intention.
 
It’s one thing to say, “Lord save them.” It’s another thing to say, “Lord, on Tuesday when I see them, open their heart.” Paul says pray for an open door, not just for them to hear, but for you to speak.
 
Insight
If you knew you had a meeting with someone important, you would prepare for it. You wouldn’t walk in casually. In the same way, don’t walk into spiritual conversations unprepared. Pray your way into the moment.
 
Prayer
“Lord, I ask You today, open a door for me to speak to my one. Give me clarity in what to say and boldness to say it. Prepare their heart before I even arrive. Amen.”
