Easter Prayers And Wishes

Introduction

Breaking a fast is more than ending hunger—it’s a sacred moment of connection with God. Whether during Easter, Holy Week, or a personal fast for clarity and strength, this time carries deep spiritual significance. From the Upper Room moments to the quiet prayers of Mary Magdalene and the disciples, believers throughout history have sought renewal through prayer after fasting.

Personally, I remember a season of fasting where the first prayer after breaking it wasn’t about food at all—it was about gratitude.
