Third Sunday of Lent: We 'share in the suffering' of Ukrainians through fasting, prayer
Fox News
For the third Sunday of Lent, Pastor Glenn Packiam of Colorado Springs, Colorado, discussed fasting and prayer for Christians as the war in Ukraine continues to rage.
"Fasting makes space in our distracted and comfortable lives to somehow share in the suffering [of the Ukrainians] by our own fasting and prayer." "We begin to see God, not as we have imagined Him, not as we have crafted Him to be, not a God made in our image, but God as He is." "When we fast, we create space to see. We turn three ways: inward, God-ward and outward."
Packiam, who is co-author of "The Resilient Pastor" (Feb 2022), said that his church leadership invites its worship community to "embrace practices that help us disengage — and participate in practices that help us engage."
