21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 15
Day 15: “Rhythm rather than action"
Psalm 27
David’s friendship with God is fueled by a singular hunger: “One thing…to gaze upon the beauty of the Lord.” David doesn’t treat God as an emergency contact; he treats God as his dwelling place. When worship becomes your “one thing,” your inner life gains stability even when circumstances stay unpredictable.
The sermon’s call to clap, shout, and lift hands is not about performance; it’s about response. God’s greatness invites your attention, and your attention shapes your affection. As you practice lingering with God, beyond quick prayers and rushed routines, you discover that intimacy grows through presence, not pressure.
Friendship with God is sustained not by emotional highs, but by faithful returning. David sought God in caves, on battlefields, and on the throne, proof that dwelling with God is a posture, not a place. When worship becomes a rhythm rather than a reaction, it anchors us through seasons of waiting, uncertainty, and change. Today, consider what competes for your “one thing.” As you intentionally choose God’s presence again and again, you will find that intimacy with Him becomes the safest place your heart can rest.

points to consider
- What would it look like for God to be your “one thing” this week, even in a busy schedule?
- When do you feel most distracted in prayer, and what might help you re-engage?
- Set aside 10 minutes today to sit quietly with God; what did you notice in your thoughts and emotions?
- Which attribute of God’s greatness do you need to focus on right now (power, mercy, faithfulness, wisdom)?
- What is one distraction you can reduce today to create more space for God’s presence?
