Fasting is the practice of giving up something we normally consume to focus on God. Fasting teaches us to say "no" to our desires and focus our needs toward God. While often and historically this practice has centered on food intake, food is not the only thing you can fast from in. Prayer and fasting can have a powerful impact on setting your life back on track.
Say "yes" to God and "no" to your appetite.
Fasting can help us In our journey to live “self-controlled and godly lives” (Titus 2:11-12). This practice can be a great tool to learn to say “no” to the physical demands of our bodies while saying “yes” to God. By abstaining from what we normally consume and using the added time to focus on God, we train ourselves in obedience to God.
