21 Days of Prayer & Fasting - Day 18
Day 18: I Am A Friend of God
John 15:13-15
Jesus reveals the fullest picture of what David’s life hinted at: God wants friendship, not mere religious distance. Christ calls us friends and proves His love through sacrifice, inviting us into a relationship shaped by love, obedience, and shared purpose. Friendship with God is not passive—it is partnership with His heart.
The sermon’s worshipful energy points outward as well as upward: when God is magnified, His people are strengthened to live as witnesses. As you end this devotional, consider how your praise can become public through service, generosity, encouragement, and courage. The God who is still moving wants to move through you—so others can see how great He is.

points to consider
- What does it mean to you that Jesus calls you a friend, not just a follower?
- Where is God inviting you to obey Him more fully as an expression of love?
- Name one person who needs hope; how can you reflect God’s greatness to them this week?
- Choose one way to serve in your church or community that aligns with your gifts and availability.
- Write a short commitment statement: how you want to walk with God daily after these five days.
