3362.—Week of Fasting and Prayer

By Editor

Please explain through the paper about the week that is set apart for prayer and fasting. J. H. M.
We do not know what particular event is referred to. It is well for God's children to pray at all times, both singly and together. It is well to fast as occasion may demand or require. In times of trouble and in great crises God's people have frequently sought Him with fasting, and He has graciously heard, while He has condemned those who did not participate. See Joel 2:12-18; Isa. 22:12-14; Ezra 8:21-23; Matt. 9:14, 15. The Bridegroom is still away, and there are many times when it is fitting to fast.
