Fasting Practicals

Preparation

  • Decide ahead of time what you are fasting and for how long. Set beginning and ending times.

  • Plan ahead – make time in your day to spend with God. Consider using your regular meal times to be with God.

  • Write down ahead of time specific things you are believing for in prayer.

  • Prepare to walk by faith, not feelings. Mood swings and irritability is normal.

  • Expect God to move in mighty ways in your life and in the lives of those you are praying for!

During the Fast

  • Worship God throughout the day to “feed” your spirit.

  • Take time to read Scripture throughout the fast. Feast on the Bread of Life!

  • Start slow if you’re new to fasting, consider sticking to light foods or liquids only (i.e. fruits & vegetables, or juice).

  • Drink plenty of water and stay away from caffeine if you are fasting from food.

  • Get more rest than usual.

Ending the Fast

  • Break the fast gradually and gently with a small amount of healthy, light food.

  • Consider breaking the fast with your community and sharing what God did in you during the fast.
