One Life Church - The Dalles, Oregon
During Lent, fasting is practiced as a way of engaging the act of turning towards God in dependence and humility. Throughout the Scriptures we see periods of 40 (40 days or years) signifying a time of preparation or cleansing. Lent is the 40-day period leading up to Easter, where we embrace a posture of seeking God in the same spirit of dependence, humility and longing.
We’d like to invite you to join with us in fasting, by choosing something to give up for Lent. Such as a food or drink item, some aspect of social media, a daily habit, etc. Something, that when you go to engage in it, will remind you to create daily space to seek God.
We have compiled writings and prayers from individuals at One Life in this booklet. Beginning on Ash Wednesday, (February 18th, 2026), and each day, except Sundays, through Easter.
Join us as we embrace this posture of soulful longing in our pursuit of God.
