Seeking God’s Will for Freedom Connections
Purpose of the Fast
This fast is not merely about acquiring a building—it is about alignment. We are seeking God’s will, His timing, and His preparation of our hearts to steward what He entrusts to us. Through fasting and prayer, we pursue clarity, unity, favor, and spiritual readiness.
Intentions:
  • Wisdom for decisions regarding purchase, lease, or renovation
  • Peace and unity among leaders and congregation
  • Favor in negotiations, approvals, and conversations
  • Discernment for God’s timing and confirmation
Choosing Your Fast
Food Fasting:
  • Skip one meal a day and dedicate that time to prayer
  • Abstain from a favorite food or drink
Non-Food Fasting:
  • Limit social media, entertainment, or distractions
  • Fast from complaining, criticism, or negativity
  • Replace comforts with prayer, Scripture, journaling, or ministry planning
Daily Rhythm (Suggested)
Morning: Offer the day and the ministry property to God
During the Fast: When hunger or cravings arise, pray and meditate on Scripture
Evening: Reflect, journal insights, and give thanks
LENTEN STRUCTURE: 46 DAYS 
ASH WEDNESDAY–HOLY SATURDAY
Lent is a 46-day season beginning on Ash Wednesday and concluding on Holy Saturday. Traditionally, Sundays are not counted as fasting days; instead, they serve as celebration and renewal days. The fast is broken for this day only. It is a day of rest. 
In this guide:
  • Monday–Saturday are focused fasting and prayer devotion days
  • Sundays are set apart for a special congregational devotional centered on worship, communion, testimony, and encouragement
