First Tuesday - Prayer and Fasting

The first Tuesday of each month has been set aside to observe a time of prayer and fasting. If you choose to participate on the first Tuesday (or any other time during the month), you may find the following helpful.

1. Read & pray through Isaiah 58
    

Thoughts before or when fasting

• Do not fast to earn God's blessing
• Do not fast as a substitute for obedience
• Do no fast to impress others
• Do lot let fasting become a mere form
• Do not fast as a form of legalism
