Have you ever fasted before? What did you learn from doing it?
-
Placing your focus on God during the fast is the purpose of giving something up. I need to remember that and not just give something up for the “suffering.”
-
Denying our earthly bodies to focus on heavenly things, not earthly things.
-
Food is considered one of the important human needs. When we fast, we tell God that He is more important than everything
-
It helps us to look to Him for our strength and nourishment. When we are reminded by our growling stomach or weakness to eat, we can be sure to turn to the Lord and ask him to sustain us.
-
When you totally turn away from the physical that sustains you , and commit your all of your time to prayer and fasting that is a way of telling God that He matters more than anything.
