Fast and Pray with Your Bethlehem Church Community
There are many seasons and various reasons why many of us might want a fresh start in different areas of our lives. Biblical fasting is a great way to “reset” spiritually as it is a discipline with the purpose of drawing nearer to God. Download this free booklet, and discover different ways to “fast,” eliminating distractions and helping you renew your focus on God. This booklet will guide you through selected Scripture passages and prayer ideas for 21 days.
Why Should I Fast?
At Bethlehem Church, we believe that fasting and prayer is a biblical discipline that draws each of us into a deeper relationship with God and with others when practiced.
While fasting in Scripture speaks directly to the abstinence of food, we can find a number of things in our daily lives that are pulling our attention and worship away from God. Because there are so many different types of fasts a person can practice, anyone who desires to renew their focus onto God and away from themselves can join us.
Even children can participate by using our kids’ version of the fasting and prayer booklet.
Our desire as a church is to collectively take 21 days and journey together toward having deeper relationships with God. We’re praying that people who are new to fasting will take this journey, as well as those who are repeating this discipline. It's our prayer that every person who participates will come to the end of the 21 days with a fresh sense of God’s presence and purpose for their lives.
“Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
Matthew 18:19-20
