Please fast responsibly. If you have any underlying health issues or unhealthy relationship with food, do not fast. And if you are going on an extended fast, it's a good idea to check with your doctor first.
Father God,
We embrace this time of fasting as an act of pure obedience. As we deny our physical needs, help us to focus more intently on You, deepening our spiritual connection and understanding of Your will.
We ask for strength and discipline during this fast, recognizing it as a powerful tool to humble ourselves. May this time of fasting be a testament to our dedication to You and our desire to emulate Christ in every aspect of our lives.
Guide us in using this period to worship You wholeheartedly, and to prepare ourselves for the work You have called us to. As we commit to this fast, to strengthen not only our bodies but also our spirits, aligning our desires with Your holy purpose.
Father, I lift up our community and those participating in this fast. May we support and encourage each other, growing together in faith and love. Let this time be a turning point in our lives, where we come to know You more deeply and serve You more faithfully.
May this be a time of renewal, growth, and profound spiritual awakening. We commit this fast, our lives, and all that we do, to You.
In Jesus' name, we pray,
Amen.
