Fasting...on purpose...

Our Missional Community is currently about three weeks into a study of Celebration of Discipline by Richard Foster (which I reviewed in an earlier posting). Today we're fasting as a community and then gathering together tonight to share our experiences over dinner. Here are the questions I've asked our community to meditate on today:
  • What is God doing in your life or trying to tell you right now?
  • What are the biggest things happening in your life right now?
  • Is there something weighing heavily on your thoughts or heart lately?
  • In response to the above questions, how does this situation make you feel? What emotions does it inspire? Why does this situation make you feel this way?
  • Is there anything you need to confess to God? Is there anything you need to give to God? Where do you need God's guidance? Where do you need God to save you?
Feel free to leave comments on your experience(s) with fasting, either today or previously.
