By focusing on Him, relying on Him, humbling and seeking Him…
He is my All and sufficient for my every need, want and delight. -
By turning to Him to be my all in all.
He’s more than physical needs, desires or wants. -
Fasting is a way of telling God that time spent with Him in prayer and fasting matters more than self focused pursuits that strengthen, comfort or entertain me.

Fasting is a good way to take our attention off our selves and our immediate needs in order to focus on Him and His desires for us. It is telling God we want to depend on Him, not just food.

You are giving up something in order to draw nearer to the Lord. A time to pray for others, develop a deeper relationship with Him, and gain better insight of his word.
