Practical Tip: Accountability partners have been assigned. Please seek support at any moment of this fast. We may all be at different levels of response. But the desire and goal is to grow upward together. Hold one another accountable and cheer one another on as we pursue the Lord to start our year. The Lord is with us. His Spirit is within us.
