21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 4
Day 4
Proverbs 3:5-6
Leaning is a picture of dependence. The sermon named how easy it is to lean on money, relationships, status, or our own understanding—yet those supports eventually wobble. God invites you to trust Him with your whole heart, not as a backup plan but as your primary foundation.
Trusting God doesn’t mean ignoring planning; it means surrendering outcomes. When you acknowledge Him in all your ways, you are inviting His guidance into your choices, your calendar, your conversations, and your reactions. That’s how the “unconventional battle approach” becomes normal: you begin to move with God instead of merely asking Him to bless your movement.
Overachieving by faith in this year will look like consistent dependence. Your peace will come less from having control and more from knowing the One who directs your path. The giant may try to intimidate, but a life that leans on the Lord stands steadier than a life propped up by temporary things.

Points To Consider
- What is one thing you’ve been leaning on that cannot ultimately carry the weight you’ve placed on it?
- Which area of your life do you struggle most to “acknowledge Him in all your ways” (work, family, spending, habits, emotions)?
- What outcome are you trying to control right now, and what would surrender look like in practice?
- Make a short list of decisions you face soon; pray over them and ask God to direct your path specifically.
- Choose one daily habit (prayer, Scripture, worship, generosity) that will reinforce dependence on God this week.
