We've decided to do a few additional things with this fast other than deny ourselves certain foods. We've decided to have specific things that we are praying for each day during the fast as well as reading through the book of John. John has 21 chapters, so that's a chapter a day.
Here is our prayer list for the fast:
Our church
Day 1 - The vision of our church
Day 2 - The mission of our church
Day 3 - The ministries of our church
Day 4 - The finances of our church
Day 5 - Our small group
Day 6 - The Philipine Mission trip
Day 7 - The worship program of our church
Our family
Day 8- Our marriage
Day 9- Our child Lyra Kate
Day 10 - Our child Lila Grace
Day 11 - Our child Tucker
Day 12 - Our parenting choices
Day 13 - Family Finances
Day 14 - The makeup of our family
Day 15 - Our health
Day 16 - Our personal discipline in certain areas
Day 17 - Our extended families
Day 18 - Our close friends
Day 19 - Our personal challenges
Day 20 - Our passion for our church
Day 21 - Our passion for the lost
Some of these are very general and are meant to be. For example, since we both struggle to discipline ourselves in different areas, then on Day 16 we will be praying specifically for different things. Also, this list is an addition to our normal daily prayer life. There are specific times each day when we will focus our prayer on these things.
