Prayer and fasting

Now is the time to pray for our world, our country, our province, our city, our church, our 20/20 community and each other's needs.  To join this group please contact Bob, or write in through our Contact page.
Between June 10-15th, commit to a day of fasting, quiet and meditative prayer.  Each on our own, but in unity of mind and spirit.  
A 12-hour fast period is suggested.  Pray through the times that you would normally eat a meal or snack, and throughout the day,
Read scripture, go for a contemplative, casual walk.  Participants can join a Zoom discussion before 20/20 on June 15th from 7-7:30pm

The following guidelines are inspired by Norman Archer:
  1. Doctor – If you feel so inclined, check with your doctor, before you begin.
  2. Time – What is the length of time for which you will Fast? (No longer than 24 hours for this initial time.)
  3. Fluids -- Copious amounts water. (Perhaps even some fruit juices, if recommended by your Doctor.)
  4. Purpose – Why is the Holy Spirit leading you to do this?
  5. Starting - Do not gorge yourself before you start. Cut down on the size of your meals 2 days ahead.
  6. Exercise - Very moderate throughout the period.
  7. Plan – Some suggested prayer matters could include (these could be repeated many times throughout, in the period as the Holy Spirit leads.)
    1. Scriptures – Isaiah 58 is a great one on fasting
    2. Mediation – on the attributes of God – His holiness, purity, etc...
    3. Worship – Psalms and or hymns are helpful.
    4. Thanksgiving.
    5. Repentance and confession.
    6. Petition – based on purpose of prayer and fasting session, plus other.
    7. Quiet Time – before the Lord.  Whatever the Holy Spirit brings to you as you listen.
    8. Write down what God is saying to you so you can share with others.
