Banding Together
We do not always have to fast alone. Fasting with others gives us opportunities to encourage one another during times of opposition.
A phrase that is often used for those who fight a battle or have a common goal is to "band together." The mutual support of others can be an encouragement to push through opposition. This theme comes out in Ecclesiastes where it talks about the strength of a braided cord. Jesus' teaching also covered this when He talks about the power of praying with others. Yet when it comes to fasting, we are hesitant about sharing the experience as a group. Marie Dell talks about a way to approach fasting with others.

As the days and months pass, you will have a common point of reflection that you use to offer praise to God.
