Individual or Corporate Fasting & Prayer Menus or Regimens

[Lady Divine]

Please share any fasting and prayer menus or regimens you may have effectively experienced.

My Pastor wants our church to do a corporate fast during Lent and I am seeking fresh ideas and insight.

If you have any written materials, please share them.

Fasting menus, fasting preparation, strengthening, handling health issues, etc.

Blessings & Breakthroughs!

I have attached a .pdf sent from a friend regarding the Daniel Fast.

Found a lot of information and I will share it here.

We are going to offer the congregation options instead of a one size fit fast.
