Those who cannot join us due to health reasons or other activities are not being asked to do anything different than normal but it would be good for all Christians, of any faith, to use this time for fasting, confession, reflection and requests for protection and wisdom as we all endure this crisis. All faiths who acknowledge and worship the one true Jehovah God are welcome to participate.
For most, fasting means abstaining from solid foods however water is okay and some with health needs may also modify their diets for this time. Nobody is expected to be awake for the entire 24 hours. Just consider sleep as part of the fast.
Now is not the time for arguments and divisions (political and otherwise). Now is the time to confess our sins and plead to the Almighty for His great hand of mercy over all of us during this time of peril. Thank you for reading.
I've posted mean things to three people today and I should be sorry for it.
I’ll pray, but not fast!
Be very careful with the fasting. You really need to know what you’re doing or you could end up in the hospital yourself.
do you fast on yom kippur or is that not from your G-d
For anyone interested.
I already do that during lent.
