What can a couple do in the 'Fast of Daniel'
One of my bloggers named Lisa Gumada had an interesting question that I think all of you could benefit from as well.
Her question was: "regarding things like the Fast of Daniel, what kind of purposes can a couple do together, with the aim of growing more in their spiritual lives?"
Lisa,
Thanks for commenting.
To answer your question, I think that in a purpose such as the Fast of Daniel. If a couple is dating they can make some sort of dating sacrifice to bless not only their spiritual life but also their relationship.
Sacrifice is always good. It hurts but always pays off in the long run.
Sacrifices that could be done while dating are things like:
*No calling each other until the fast is over and only going out together like once a week.
*No dating but only calling each other like once a week until the fasting is over
If you want a REAL CHALLENGE and you want to go all out
*No dating or calling each other at all until the fasting is over.
Of course, don't get me wrong, if you cross by your partner in the church or in the street it doesn't mean you have to ignore them. But the whole concept is to do your sacrifice.
If a couple is married
Then maybe the two of you can seek the Holy Spirit at home together everyday throughout the Fast of Daniel.
This will help you get stronger in your primary relationship with God
I hope that answers your question Lisa
