Download the lent guide and join us on YouTube every Monday-Friday at 6am for prayer, starting February 18, 2026. Lent Guide FAQS What is fasting? Purpose of fasting Fasting is a sacred invitation to draw closer to God. At its heart, biblical fasting is about removing distractions so we can become more attentive to the voice and presence of the Lord. It creates space for spiritual renewal, allowing God to reset our hearts, restore our focus, and deepen our dependence on Him. Through fasting, we posture ourselves to receive God’s grace with clarity and humility. It heightens our awareness of His goodness and mercy and prepares us to receive the blessings, direction, and transformation He desires to bring into our lives. A meaningful fast should stretch us, but it should also be approached with wisdom—honoring your physical health, understanding your options, and most importantly, being led by the Holy Spirit through prayer. This is not about religious obligation, but about relationship—choosing to seek God intentionally and wholeheartedly. The Biblical Foundation of Fasting Fasting is woven throughout Scripture as a spiritual practice used by God’s people to seek His will, express humility, and draw near to Him. Moses fasted as he encountered God on Mount Sinai. David fasted in seasons of repentance and dependence. Jesus fasted as He prepared for ministry and victory over temptation. These examples remind us that fasting is not about what we give up, but about who we draw closer to—God Himself. Why should I fast? Fasting helps center your heart and mind on God. It creates space to deepen your prayer life, gain spiritual and mental clarity, and grow in self-discipline. More than simply abstaining from something, fasting is a way to express your dependence on God and invite Him to work more deeply in your life. Through this intentional time of seeking Him, many people experience a renewed sense of closeness, peace, and spiritual focus. How do I prepare for the fast? Preparing for a fast helps you enter the experience with wisdom, intention, and spiritual focus. Start by taking care of your health. If you have any medical conditions or concerns, consult your doctor before beginning a fast. Your well-being matters, and a healthy body allows you to fully engage in the spiritual purpose of fasting. Next, prayerfully set your intentions. Consider why you are fasting—whether you are seeking God’s direction, spiritual renewal, repentance, deeper faith, or a closer walk with Jesus. Let the Holy Spirit guide both your purpose and your approach. Decide what you will give up and for how long. This may include certain foods, beverages, or even activities that tend to distract you from God. Choose something that will meaningfully redirect your focus toward Him. Plan ahead. Stock your home with appropriate foods, prepare meals in advance, and think through how your days will look during the fast. This reduces stress and helps you stay committed once the fast begins. Ease into the fast by gradually reducing what you plan to give up. Slowly cutting back allows your body to adjust and makes the transition smoother. Be attentive to how your body responds and make adjustments as needed. Finally, stay hydrated. Begin increasing your water intake and keep water readily available throughout the fast to support your body and maintain energy. Fasting is both a spiritual and physical journey, and thoughtful preparation allows you to honor God while caring for yourself. Should I fast if I am a diabetic? Yes, you can participate in a fast if you are diabetic, but always consult your physician first. Your fast may need to focus on adjusting what you eat rather than skipping meals. Limiting processed sugars and unhealthy foods while choosing low-glycemic options like whole grains, vegetables, and fruits can help keep blood sugar stable. Continue to monitor your levels and stay well hydrated throughout the fast. Should I take my medications during the fast? Yes, always continue taking your medications exactly as prescribed by your physician. Will I experience headaches during the fast? Because many people regularly consume sugar and caffeine, it’s common to experience headaches during fasting. Reducing your intake of coffee and other caffeinated drinks in the weeks leading up to the fast can help ease this transition. Managing stress, getting adequate rest, and prioritizing sleep are also important in minimizing headaches and supporting your body during the fast. What happens if I mess up during the fast? If you slip up during your fast—whether by eating something you didn’t plan to, missing a devotional, or getting distracted—simply acknowledge it before God and recommit in that moment. There is no need to quit; just start again right where you are. Grace allows you to reset and keep moving forward. Also, increasing your water intake can help reduce hunger and support your body as you continue. What should I do during the fast? Use this time to draw closer to God through regular prayer, Scripture reading, worship, and quiet reflection. Journaling what God speaks to your heart can also be helpful. Set clear boundaries by limiting distractions such as social media, television, and certain types of music, replacing them with time spent with God. Be intentional about what you give up—choose something that will truly stretch you and create space for spiritual focus. Stay connected with a prayer partner or small group for encouragement and accountability Lent Devotion Music Worship music is a powerful tool during a fast because it helps center your heart on God and quiet outside distractions. It creates an atmosphere of peace, reverence, and spiritual focus, making it easier to pray, reflect, and hear God’s voice. As you fast, worship music can strengthen your faith, lift your spirit, and remind you of God’s presence, goodness, and promises. Listen Maundy Thursday Maundy Thursday, also known as Holy Thursday, commemorates the night Jesus shared the Last Supper with his disciples before his crucifixion. On this day, Christians remember the institution of Holy Communion, Jesus’ act of washing the disciples’ feet as a model of humble service, and his “new commandment” to love one another. Many churches observe Maundy Thursday with special evening services that may include Communion, foot-washing, prayer, and quiet reflection, as worshipers enter into the solemn final hours of Holy Week in preparation for Good Friday and the joy of Easter.
