“But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”
Fast Devotional Guide
Each day, seek answers to how God is calling you to use your faith to advance the Kingdom. Ask God’s guidance on how He wants you to come alongside other members of Eastern Star Church to save the lost and transform lives through Evangelism and Discipleship.
This devotional will help you reflect on the resources God has given you and how He wants you to use those resources to build His kingdom.
How We fast
From Ash Wednesday, February 22nd to Palm Sunday, April 2nd, we will follow a modified Daniel Fast.* We will primarily only eat fruits, vegetables, nuts, and grains. We will only drink water and 100% juices. We will refrain from eating meat, dairy, and sweets.
One day during every week, select a day when you will do a complete fast only drinking liquids such as water and 100% fruit juices.
Alternative: For those who cannot fast because of medical reasons, consider fasting from certain types of food (sweets, soft drinks, etc.) or leisure activities such as your favorite TV program and/or social media.
*If you have any health conditions, please seek advice from your physician before beginning any corporate food fast at Eastern Star Church.
