An Opportunity to Seek the Lord...Together
Christian Union America hosts regular national fasts ranging from week-long to 40-day fasts to deepen our relationship with the Lord and intercede for our nation to return to Him. Fasting is an essential part of Christian life. It is modeled for us throughout the Scriptures and has a unique capacity to draw us closer to the Lord through humble dependence upon Him.Each signed-up participant receives a daily Bible-based devotional by email during the fasting period.
Each participant decides how to abstain from food and/or drink during the fast. The Bible provides different examples of fasting, from eating only one meal per day to forgoing all foods for multiple days in a row. Only occasionally and in very exceptional circumstances does someone abstain from food and drink. Ask God how you should fast, and please consult your doctor if you have any questions or concerns about fasting. If you have never fasted for days in a row, join for as long as possible. The most essential part of fasting is the humbling of our hearts to seek after God.
