Have you ever fasted before? What did you learn from doing it?
-
to give up food or something we enjoy lets Him know He means more to us than those things.
-
Denying ourselves of food is one way of overcoming lust of the flesh which is the fruit of the Spirit – temperance or self control.
-
To God I matter alot more than I can comprehend, therefore the least I can do is approach God in prayer and a clear mind through fasting.
-
As humans we obviously need food to sustain us. Through giving up this basic need for a period of time, we are saying to God that we trust Him and know that He will sustain us while we fast and prayer for the needs of others and ourselves.
-
When you fast you also pray and your concentration is on Him and nothing/no one else.
