Steps for Fasting

Start Small - Fast for one meal, maybe lunch. Don’t overeat to prepare!

Take fruit juice if you must to keep up your energy.

Plan activities you’ll do in lieu of eating - Worship, Bible Study using S.O.A.P.

Fasting can be from other things – TV, Social Media, other sources of enjoyment.

Bible Study using S.O.A.P.

1. Scripture

  • Read the scripture passage of the day

  • Select portions which you sense God highlighting to you or that you feel special significance for.

  • Write them out, in your journal if you have one. Writing facilitates memory and this helps get the Word deeper in us.

โ€‹

2. Observation

As you read the Bible, look for one of the following:

  • A lesson to be learnt

  • An example to be followed

  • Promises to be enjoyed

  • Jesus to be revealed

โ€‹

• Main question for reflection: Why is God highlighting this verse to you? What is God saying to you from the Bible?

โ€‹

Write 3-4 sentences about what you have observed from the text and how it relates to you.

โ€‹

3. Application

Main question for reflection: How will you be different as a result of what you have read and God has spoken?

  • Write down specific application plans and desires.

โ€‹

4. Prayer

Write your prayer down, giving thanks to God, asking him how he wants you to respond, and for courage and determination to do so.
