ALCC's 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting continues until January 29 - Celebration Sunday. If you didn't sign up this past Sunday, it's not too late! You can start fasting and praying with us today. Then fill out a form this Sunday and put it in the offering. Here are the suggested 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 water and juice for fluids and fruits and vegetables for food.
- Partial Fast: This fast is sometimes called the “Jewish Fast” and 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.
- Complete Fast: In this type of fast, you drink only liquids, typically water with light juices as an option.
- Soul Fast: This fast is a great option if you do not have much experience fasting food, have health issues that prevent you from fasting food, or if you wish to refocus certain areas of your life that are out of balance. 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.
This week's prayer focus: Wisdom
- Pray for wisdom in personal decisions, and spiritual growth for you and your family this year.
- Pray for wisdom and direction for ALCC and its leaders in 2023.
