DEEPENING OUR DEPENDENCE THROUGH PRAYER & FASTING
“So we fasted and implored our God for this, and he listened to our entreaty.” (Ezra 8:23)
The elders would like to call all Sea Point Common Grounders to join together for a day of fasting and prayer at the start of 2025 as we freshly express our humble dependence on God and unite our hearts together.
Prayer and fasting are two spiritual practices that help to shape and form us in our dependence on God and are always beneficial in our spiritual formation. Fasting reveals the things that control us more than any other single discipline. It is more than just abstinence from a particular food or media product. This is of benefit to the Christ-follower who longs to be transformed into the image of Christ. We cover up what is inside us with food and other good things, but in fasting, these things surface.
Over this time, it is vitally important that you carve out time to pray individually; as part of your personal devotional journey, as well as creating times to pray together as a church community, life group or family/ couple. Fasting is so much more than just giving up food, it is creating space to engage God meaningfully.
