Abiding Practice: Fasting

Fasting is emptying ourselves of the things we crave and replacing them with more of Jesus. It's designed to reveal our dependence and remind us that we are apprenticing to Jesus with our whole selves, including our bodies. In these practices we’re cutting things out to create more room for God to fill and meet us in a deeper way.

This week we're fasting together! Pick a day or other length of time, and choose a meal, specific food or something else to cut out as we fast (and pray).

Remember, fasting without prayer is just a diet, so allow this practice and those feelings of hunger to turn you to God in prayer as we continue abiding.
