Prayer and Fasting
The goal of prayer and fasting is to draw near to God. These are Spiritual practices that will help you connect with your source of power.
Pray Together
Prayer Partner - We encourage you to find a prayer partner and pray with them regularly. This will strengthen relationships, increase accountability, and bring new life to your prayer time.
Daily Prayer - Prayer is not an event, it is a continual state of existence. It is your connection to God, who is your closest friend and source of strength. Setting aside intentional time each day to draw near to God can greatly strengthen your relationship with Him.
Weekly Prayer Meeting - Join us Wednesdays at 7:00 pm for time of prayer together. Join on zoom here.
Fasting Basics
BIBLICAL FASTING IS REFRAINING FROM FOOD FOR A SPIRITUAL PURPOSE
Fasting enables us to celebrate the goodness and mercy of God. It prepares our hearts for all the good things God desires to bring into our lives. And it increases our reliance on God for strength to control our desires.
When deciding on a fast, we encourage you to seek God in prayer and follow what the Holy Spirit leads you to do.

Types of Fasts
Selective Fast
​
This type of fast involves removing certain elements from your diet. One example of a selective fast is the Daniel Fast, during which you remove meat, sweets, and bread from your diet and consume only fruits and vegetables, water and juice.
Partial Fast
This fast involves abstaining from eating any type of food in the morning and afternoon. This can either correlate to specific times of the day, such as 6:00 am to 3:00 pm, or from sunup to sundown. This is a good option if you have something keeping you from fasting for the whole day.
Complete Fast
In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with a little bit of juice as an option if you need something to keep you going.
Lifestyle Fast
This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting from food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting from food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life.
For example, you might choose to stop using social media or watching television for the duration of the fast and then carefully bring that element back into your life in healthy doses at the conclusion of the fast.
