But why should we fast, and what are the benefits? Let’s explore this beautiful journey together.

▎Why Fast?

Fasting is more than just abstaining from food, it is a time of devotion, prayer, and reflection. In the Bible, we see many examples of fasting as a way to draw closer to God. Jesus Himself fasted for 40 days in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-2), showing us that fasting can strengthen our spirit and help us resist temptation.

When we fast, we take a break from our daily routines and distractions, This allows us to focus our hearts and minds on God. It is an opportunity to humble ourselves before Him, seeking His guidance and wisdom, As we deny our physical needs, we grow more aware of our spiritual hunger for God.

▎Benefits of Fasting.

1. Spiritual Growth: Fasting helps us grow closer to God. As we pray and read the Bible during our fast, we gain deeper insights into His Word and His will for our lives.

2. Clarity and Direction: When we fast, we often find clarity in our thoughts and decisions. It allows us to hear God’s voice more clearly, guiding us in our daily lives.

4. Healing and Restoration: Many people experience physical and emotional healing through fasting. It can be a time for God to restore broken relationships or heal past wounds.

5. Community and Unity: When we fast together as a church, it brings us closer as a community. We support and encourage one another in our spiritual journeys, strengthening our bonds in Christ.

▎The Importance of Worship

Worship is an essential part of our relationship with God, It is how we express our love and gratitude to Him. When we worship, we acknowledge His greatness and invite His presence into our lives. Psalm 95:6 says, “Come, let us bow down in worship, let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.”
