I am excited that ROCK Church will be fasting together. Bryan has already uploaded a packet on fasting. Check it out.
Fasting as a family is important to us. Here are some things we are planning and preparing to do to include our children.
- We decided what kind of fast we will be doing. Bryan and I will be doing a Daniel Fast and the kids will be doing a Daniel Fast when at home.
- Setting aside time to read the Bible together as a family. We will be reading the Bible together after dinner each night and discussing.
- Talking about why we fast before fast begins.
- Looking for menus that will be more kid friendly.
- Removing the foods we are not going to be eating from the house.
I will be posting menus and our experiences. Since the time of preparing a meal can take longer, I am planning on make some meals ahead and freezing them. There are some recipes in the packet so check them out.
Our church has done this same thing in the past. We usually do it for 21 days. It is such a blessing to watch your family and your church grow and change through times of fasting and prayer.
Is the daniel fast packet still available somewhere?
We will have another packet available online on our church website rockwilmington.com You can always check out Awakening as well. I would definitely suggest the book.
