Prayer and Fasting into Easter

The season leading up to Easter Sunday is one of the most significant times in the calendar year for us. While our culture celebrates the season with Easter eggs and family holidays, it is for us a celebration of the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ which is at the very heart of Christianity and our own personal lives as disciples.

Starting from Monday the 8th of April, we are calling the whole church to a 2-week prayer and fasting journey leading into Easter. We will break fast on Easter Sunday together after the Sunday service.

We have compiled a booklet from a bunch of resources as a prayer and fasting guide for you. This journey is aimed towards directing your heart to God and deepening your understanding of the events that led to Easter. Each day there is a guide that comprises of three components:

1) Feeding On the Word
It is made up of a gospel reading that follows the narrative of Jesus’ own journey to the cross from the gospel according to Mark. There is a devotional that raises thought on some aspect of the reading and focus on themes around the sacrifice and death of Jesus Christ.

2) My Fasting Journal
Jesus said that, ‘Man does not live on bread alone but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God’. The fasting journal provides you a space to reflect on what God is saying to you through His Word. Journaling creates a record of God’s work, power and leading in your life.

3) My Prayer
Using the words from various liturgical resources, these prayers close each day as an added way to commune with God and express your desire to be transformed by his Spirit. We encourage you to pray it out loud and use it as a prompt for God to guide you into your time of prayer around your prayer goals.
