Fasting time
Jan. 31st, 2014 07:51 pmThis probably sounds crazy to people who aren't Christians, but my church has been teaching about prayer and with it fasting and the different kinds there are, so now we get to practice - we're all fasting together for the next three weeks with three times available for corporate prayer each day as well and I'm so happy!
I love it when we all get to do things together and I love prayer, so this is wonderful to me. It's going to be a challenge (I've never done one for three weeks running before), but that's the idea, to stretch us a little. It's all voluntary, with only guidelines suggested, some are just giving up one meal a day, others are just cutting out meat, etc. for a time, a small number of more experienced folks are going to try just liquids for at least part of it. We all get to encourage one another and discuss how it's going a couple times a week too.
Starts tonight! Yay!
