Hi, Upper Room Podcast family. This week, Larissa taught on fasting the way that it shapes our faith.

Our souls are nourished through giving, fasting, and praying. And as a community, we're leaning into this lifestyle of fasting together for 21 days, and we'd love for you to join us.

We hope this podcast blesses you and encourages you during this season, and we can't wait to be with you soon.

Love you.

We thank you that you promised to be in our midst, Lord Jesus.

I just as impressed upon my heart to pray for our kids' ministries this morning.

So I just would like every voice.

There's kids across the street and there's kids back there.

Could we just all pray together?

Just you can pray in the spirit, whatever.

Lord, we pray for our children today. We pray that

forth, that what no person could fully explain to them, Lord, that they could grasp by your spirit.

Like Joe was prophesying up here when we took communion Lord we pray
