Have you ever fasted before? What did you learn from doing it?
-
Yes, I’ve fasted. I’ve learned that my dependency on God is important to daily living.
-
I am currently in a progressive 40 day fast. I am fasting in the area of food, finances and social media/entertainment. I am learning that removing these distractions is allowing me to spend quality time with God.
-
I have fasted a few times. Fasting helped me get closer to God and receive an answer or revelation to the situation I was facing.
-
I gave up refined sugar for Lent many years ago as part of a ‘group challenge; when I was attending a church I have since left. It always seemed hypocritical to me because we were never encouraged to spend any time with God. Since then I have never fasted as it left a bitter taste in my mouth (ironically).
I appreciate that this lesson has given me a clear understanding and it will now become part of my prayer life.
-
I have fasted and gone without food for a few days. When my heart was in the right place, God spoke so clearly to me. But when it was not, the time spent in fasting was more or less wasted.
