Have you ever fasted before? What did you learn from doing it?
-
Yes. It was reminding me that my dependance is on God and not the choice foods and distractions of this world. It kept me aware of others and I prayed for them during this time with better clarity.
-
It is setting yourself up to hear and get deeper with God. Fasting is giving up something to get deeper into God’s word. It is a time to praise God and pray for your needs and the needs of others.
-
Fasting is a way of telling God that He matters because it shows that we sacrificed something to only focus on Him and His Word.
-
Fasting is a time, when you deprive yourself of food or whatever is a distraction for you, to meditate on God’s Word get closer to Him in your relationship, and get direction from Him.
-
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.”
