21 Days of Prayer and Fasting - Yadah

Lift up your hands in the sanctuary and praise the Lord. - Psalm 134:2

Yadah means to worship with extended or raised hands, confessing God’s worth through thanksgiving and surrender. It’s a physical act of shooting arrows of praise or throwing out gratitude, acknowledging His sovereignty. Yadah deepens our relationship by reminding us to yield control, trusting God’s hands over our own, leading to intimate communion and an overflow of grateful worship.

In battle, Moses raised his hands, and Israel prevailed; when they dropped, the enemy advanced (Exodus 17:8-13). Aaron and Hur supported his arms until victory. This yadah posture symbolized total dependence on God, turning a physical act into powerful intercession and praise that brought divine intervention.

During prayer, physically raise your hands and thank God for five specific things, surrendering any burdens.

Fasting Focus: Fast from a meal; use the hunger pangs as reminders to lift hands in thankful surrender.
