Dedicate 2025 to God with Fasting and Prayer

---

There are several types of fasts, and three options are listed below. The one you choose is between you and God. He will honor your best sacrifice.

• Full Fast - drinking only liquids (you establish the number of days).
• Daniel Fast - no meat, sweets, or bread. Drink water and juice. Eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
• Partial Fast - not eating from 6:00am to 3:00pm, or from sun up to sun down, or not eating a particular item. 

Remember, that it is the attitude of a heart sincerely seeking God to which he responds with a blessing. May God bless you as your fast!

If you aren't sure what you should pray, you can utilize the "Five Finger Prayer Model" from Pope Francis.

• Thumb - Pray for the ones we love. Start praying for those who are closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. 
• Index Finger - Pray for the ones who teach us. Those who instruct you and heal you need the support and wisdom to show direction to others. 
• Middle Finger - Pray for our Governors. As it is the tallest finger, it reminds us of our leaders. Pray for our people in government and those who have authority.
• Ring Finger - Pray for the sick and the weakest. It is our weakest finger. It reminds us to pray for the weakest, the sick, or those plagued by problems. 
• Pinky Finger - Pray for yourself. The smallest finger should remind you to pray for your own needs when you are done praying for the other four groups.
