How can I participate?
There are many ways to fast. What is important is not HOW you fast but WHY you fast. Whether you choose to fast totally from all food, or from only certain foods, whether you choose a certain activity of any other form of fast, the important truth is that this time is spent praying and seeking to know God.
Below is a link to some helpful guidelines on how to fast in a healthy way and several variations on how to fast.
Again what is important is that you choose to fast in a way that draws you to the heart of God.
