When the lent days enter, all of us will think about the fasting. Let’s discuss the topic fasting today on the 5th day of lent.
Lent days will begin with the Ash Wednesday and the fasting, giving up of various activities or foodies will start with the very first of lent. Few will give up alcohol and few will leave the non-veg diet completely for 40 days.
Coming to the fasting, not everyone is fit to fast. Depending upon the health status and the metabolism, fasting is not preferable to few people.
Is it a sin if we don’t fast during the lent days? Let’s try to answer this question in a practical way. Lent is all about spirituality and not about the body. It’s all about the soul and the attitude we have. Fasting is a bodily thing, it will kill the energy and will make us so close to God. Killing the appetite will not make you closer to God, but a hearty prayer will do. Even a full stomach prayer is acceptable by God, so lent isn’t about the fasting alone.
Fasting is only an option, there are many people who are sick among us, and can’t leave the diet. For them, it is suggestible to take food and then pray to God. It’s about you and the God, your relationship will not have an end because you didn’t fast. God’s thinking is way beyond of ours.
If and only if it is comfortable to you to fast, go for it.
Prayer:
Our Heavenly Father, thank you for the beautiful day you gave us. We are happy to be counted as alive and able to praise you. We pray to you to forgive us for the sins we did today, with our sight, mouth, and hands. It’s not our perfection, but only your loving kindness that saved us from dying. Lord, today we’ve entered successfully into the 5th day of the lent. We stand and we fall, still, we are here, asking you for the power to fight against the evil. Make us grow in the faith and block all those things, which are bad and are trying to steal the faith from us.
Holy Lord, we thank you for everything and hoping to experience the miracles. Even if we don’t experience, we still pray to you, because you are our only God. In the Hoy name of Jesus Christ, we submit this prayer, Amen!
