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

Fasting helps us deny our cross and follow God. It’s saying I trust you more than I want to satisfy my belly and tastebuds.
