40 Day Daniel Fast
Metropolitan Family,
Beginning Ash Wednesday, we will enter into 40 Days of the Daniel Fast as a church family. This is a season of prayer, discipline, and drawing closer to God. As John 15:5 reminds us, “Apart from Me you can do nothing.”
During the fast, we will focus on vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, nuts, seeds, quality oils, and water, while abstaining from meat, dairy, sweeteners, and processed foods.
Please review the attached Daniel Fast Guide for full details, including information for children and those managing health conditions.
Let us seek God together with expectation and faith.
