By fasting – abstaining from food or social media etc – we focusing on God and not on other activities that distract us from His presence.
-
Fasting communicates to God that “You matter more than anything else” because I am willing to refrain from everything else in order to focus my attention on Him, His Kingdom work and His way.

God is our Mighty Father and we need to draw closer and closer to Him. We can show him that we need Him more than the food we think we need to make it through the day. Count on God and believe that He will help you grow closer to Him in your time of fasting.

We can stay more focused, we also give up something for God.

Fasting is a way of letting God know we not only depend on food for life but also on Him, as he is our provider.
