Have you ever fasted before? What did you learn from doing it?

[Austin]

I have not truly fasted in the Biblical sense. I gave up social media and certain foods for a time. However, that wasn’t true Biblical fasting because I was not relying on God to meet my needs. I am encouraged by this lesson to do true, Biblical fasting.

[Austin]

I have fasted from social media and certain foods. I experienced a release and freedom from distractions and my devotional time became more focused and meaningful.

[Austin]

I have fasted in the past but not

strongly.

I hope fasting can now become

Part of my spiritual growth.

[Austin]

I have. I feel closer to God, better able to pray and more in tune with God for a while until it begins to wane and I then fast and pray again.

[Austin]

No I have not. For medical reasons, I haven’t but I would like to try with some modifications so that I would be able to do this.
