Fasting is an intentional decision to abstain for a time, from the pleasure of eating to seek God through deeper, fervent prayer. We will fast and pray for the mission trip to Ghana for 3 days, October 20th, 21 and 22.

DETAILS OF FAST
We will do a partial fast for 3 days.  A partial fast involves abstaining from eating any type of food from 6:00 am to 6:00 pm.  If you’re unable to do the partial fast because of medical reasons, then you can do a Daniel fast where you’re able to eat fruits and vegetables, but abstaining from meats, and sweets. If you have any prior health conditions, it is strongly suggested that you consult your physician before starting a fast.

PRAYER SAMPLES
Prayer:
Be beside me O Lord
My advisor and my friend.
Be behind me O Lord
My protector & shield.
Be beneath me O lord
My helper & strength.
Be ahead of me O Lord
My inspirer & guide.
I am your servant O Lord
May I be full of your love each day. In the mighty name of Jesus AMEN.

Prayer:
Your words declare that I can come to you, the source of wisdom, for wisdom.
Father I ask that you would not only give me wisdom of men, but the wisdom of God.
I thank you now for imparting divine wisdom to me. I pray dear Lord that you will instruct me & teach me in the way I should go. Direct my steps, let my ear be inclined to Your voice, and correct me when I have gone astray.

Prayer:
I pray for the gift of discernment; help me to know the difference between Godly & ungodly intentions, spirits, prophecies, actions and gifts. By the power of the Holy Spirit, help me to know who has been sent by You, and who has not.
In the mighty name of Jesus AMEN.
