I will be fasting, also. I had already decided it was necessary for me to do. Maybe a day, or a certain meal everyday. I haven't decided yet.
For those who haven't fasted but want to, it's not good to just jump into it. Or those who have low blood sugar or other health needs. But you can give up things you really like, as well, for the time period and that is still considered a form of fasting. I heard a gal speak at our church once on fasting and she recommended starting with juice fasts if you've never done it before, which is what I might do. :)
A Media fast works for me. You don't know how addicted you are until you try stopping it for a short time.
You're right about a fast being any number of things.......giving up one or two meals during any given day, or just snacks.......or even TV.
I'm definitely going to join you in some kind of fasting in the coming week. I truly believe that this is the most significant election in our lifetime, and we need to yield everything we have to God's control and will.
Perhaps a pledge to fast could be added to this thread??
Think I will skip one meal per day and forgo snacks completely.
When do we start?
Who do we freepmail to join together in this?
Let's do this for our President, our nation, our troops and our personal prayer life!
