The primary purpose of this “Season of Prayer and Fasting” is to abstain from solid foods, that we might be strengthened in character and drawn closer in relationship with Christ.
Water, fruit, vegetable juices, fresh fruit, vegetables and vitamins are all appropriate food related substances, we can partake of, with moderation, as we endure this season of “prayer and fasting.”
Moreover, we are also abstaining from bad habits, questionable lifestyle challenges, sour attitudes, negative dispositions, gossip, slander, selfishness, jealousy, anger and poor financial management.
