Fasting and Prayer

 

January 3-9, 2021

There are basically two categories of fasting. The first category is a proclaimed fast (Joel 1:14). A proclaimed fast is called for a group of believers to seek God together for a specific purpose. The second type of fasting is a personal fast (Matthew 6), where one seeks the face of God through fasting privately.
 
We are having a proclaimed fast from January 3-9. During this time, we will abstain from food* each day from 6 a.m. until 6 p.m.
 
This year, we will be fasting through Psalm 23 and asking God to lead us as individuals, families, as a church, a community and a country through this upcoming year.  There are obstacles that lay ahead for each of us and we need the Holy Spirit to shepherd us through.  Each day we will have a prayer focus and a chapter to read.  Sunday through Friday, we will come together via zoom noon each day to pray together and for each other.
