Quarterly Day of Prayer
3 January 2026
The Quarterly Day of Prayer and Fasting will be observed on Sabbath, 3 January 2026. This is the first in the series of four quarterly prayer and fasting days held throughout the year, calling believers to seek renewal and unity through focused prayer and spiritual reflection.
The first Quarterly Day of Prayer and Fasting of 2026, organised by the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists, will take place on Sabbath, 3 January 2026. It provides an opportunity for members worldwide to start the year by seeking God through prayer, fasting, and reflection.
Each quarterly observance focuses on personal renewal, unity, and mission, encouraging individuals, families, and churches to dedicate time to prayer and invite the Holy Spirit’s leading. Many choose to fast—from food, social media, or other distractions—to deepen their connection with God and focus on spiritual growth.
