A FASTING PLAN

Select your day of fasting. (We encourage you to get a fasting practice rep this coming Tuesday and all who can to end the day together in Tuesday Night Prayer Service.)

THE DIFFERENT EATING OPTIONS

A PRACTICAL GUIDE FOR FASTING

A. Organize your day of fasting in advance: schedule 3 blocks of prayer, plan to get up early to begin the day in focused time with our Father, make sure you don’t have any eating commitments with others, be extra aware of your personal holiness - eliminate all possible distractions and forms of temptation (ie: social media, binge watching shows) 

B. Create your prayer list: make a list of the matters for which you are fasting. 

C. Spend the majority of the early morning block of prayer focused on personal consecration and aligning your heart, mind, and will with the Lord’s. Also pray through your prayer list. As associated Bible verses or ideas come to mind, write them down on your prayer list.

D. During your second block of prayer, spend a little time retuning your heart with the Lord through Scripture reading, singing, re-consecration. Then spend a good amount of time praying through your prayer list. 

E. If possible, spend your third block of prayer gathered with the rest of us in Tuesday Night Prayer Service at 6:30 p.m. Bring your personal prayer list with you. 

F. Throughout the day, let your hunger pangs remind you to talk to the Lord about your prayer list and the associated Bible verses and ideas that have come to mind.
