THE RETURN ~ Oct. 20-22

“Come, let us return to the Lord. He has torn us to pieces, but he will heal us; he has injured us, but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the Lord; let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us.”
Hosea 6:1-3 NIV

TIPS   &   SUGGESTIONS   FOR   FASTING

Focus on prayer & Scripture

Don't just remove food from your day and expect God to move! Dedicate time to read the Bible, pray, and meditate on God's word, replacing your usual meal times with spiritual activities.

Stay Hydrated

Drink plenty of water to stay hydrated and avoid dehydration.

*Limit your physical activity during this time. Rest when you can and only engage in moderate exercise. Know your body and be mindful of it during this time of fasting.

Get Creative

Can't fast food due to health reasons? Get creative and fast something else during these three days! Consider fasting television, social media, video games, any books other than Scripture, secular music, or anything else that you find pulls you away from God.
A few more things to consider during this fast:
  • Be Patient: Expect temporary discomforts like hunger pains, dizziness, fatigue, or irritability, especially if you are withdrawing from sugar or caffeine. 
  • Journal Your Experience: Write down your prayers and what you are fasting for to better track God's work in your life.
  • Ease Back In: Avoid overeating immediately after the fast; eat smaller portions to ease back into a normal diet.
