Fasting & Praying Guideનમૂનો
Fasting will drain you physically, and if you are not used to practicing it, you will feel its impact quickly on your body. But I have found that fasting reveals God’s counterintuitive, countercultural, and even counter-natural economy where He accomplishes more with your less. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:10, “When I am weak, then I am strong.” Only this strength can prevail for us in our battle against the enemy and his servants.
Reflection:
God does more with my less.
The following happened during the first week of my last fast:
•A hiring challenge I had strived all year to solve was resolved.
•A challenging strategy suddenly came to me in full bloom when I woke up.
•A meeting I had tried arranging came together ‘impromptu’ without any effort on my part.
We don’t fast for results; we fast for presence and dependence. But in my years of fasting, I’ve seen that presence and dependence produce outcomes that I never could.
What answers, revelations, and gifts has God already given you during your fast so far?

About this Plan
This fasting guide is meant to accompany a 21-day fast. For each week, we will look first at the example of Jesus’ fasting and temptation in the wilderness. Then we will attempt to draw out important biblical teachings to edify our souls as we fast from food and feast on God. The goal of this is to experience for ourselves what it means to live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4).
