Prayer
We believe prayer changes everything.
Whether you’re walking through something heavy or just want to spend time with God, prayer is where it begins. It’s how we connect with Him, hear His voice, and align our hearts with His.
Saturday Morning Prayer
Every Saturday morning, we gather to pray from 9:00 AM to 10:00 AM. This one-hour prayer experience includes worship, personal prayer time, and corporate prayer.
Fasting
Fasting is a spiritual discipline that helps us draw closer to God by removing distractions and leaning into His presence. At Nashville Life, we begin each year with 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting every January.
You can also fast throughout the year as God leads. Whether it’s for one meal, one day, or a longer period—fasting is about surrender and focus.

Types of Fasts
Fasting looks different for everyone. The key is choosing a fast that helps you remove distractions and lean into God’s presence. Below are a few types of fasts you can consider.
-
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
-
This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown.
-
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
-
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
