Commitment to Spiritual Growth: Fasting Jan 10-31, 2021
FASTING GUIDELINES:
Consider these and choose one you want to observe. Remember to replace whatever you fast from with a daily time of reading the Bible and praying. You can read whatever part of the Bible you choose, but I am starting my series on the Gospel of John, so that might be a good place to read. Finally, in your prayer time be sure to include a time of silence and listening to what God has to say to you.
​
Fasting: Use one of the ways that fits your life.
