Fasting

This 7 day devotional guides readers through the heart of Orthodox Christian spirituality and prayer, drawing on Scripture, the Church Fathers, Coptic Orthodox hymnography, and liturgical worship. Each day offers reflection, practical guidance, and prayer, inviting you to deepen your relationship with God, embrace the Church’s ascetic practices, and sanctify daily life through the living tradition of the Ancient Faith.

Spirituality and Prayer Life in the Ancient Faith

The power of prayer and fasting cannot be underestimated in the life of a Believer. This powerful combination can move mountains of impossibility, heal your body, your relationships, your finances, and can rectify what seems hopeless. When we fast and pray, God moves heaven and earth on our behalf. The thing that concerns us becomes our testimony and wins others to Christ. It becomes a thing of great beauty.


Fasting: Unlocking Your Supernatural Potential

At the start and middle of each year, we take time to pray and fast in order to humble ourselves before God, consecrate ourselves to Him, and corporately agree for breakthroughs. God’s awesome greatness is not only demonstrated by how big He is, but in His ability to humble Himself, come down to our level, and become small like us—even stooping lower to save and serve us.

Lent is incredibly significant for many Christians across the globe. Traditionally marking the time before Easter, Lent is a period of preparation—a chance to focus and center ourselves toward the sacrifice of Jesus. As Advent prepares us for celebrating Jesus’ birth at Christmas, Lent is Easter’s Advent—a countdown to the expression of our faith in Christ’s death and resurrection.

On this incredible journey, we will explore key topics like fasting, prayer, servanthood, freedom, and hope in Christ.
