What Is Fasting?

DAY 2 OF 7

Why fast?


In Matthew 6, Jesus gave us specific directions on how to live as a child of God. That pattern addressed three specific duties of a Christian: giving, praying, and fasting. Jesus said, "When you give..." "when you pray..." when you fast." He made it clear that fasting, like giving and praying, was a normal part of Christian life. But why are you personally fasting? Choose your reasons and prayer focus.

About this Plan

What Is Fasting?

WHAT IS FASTING? Fasting is giving up something for a specified number of days for a specific purpose. The type and length of the fast you choose is between you and God and should not be determined by what anyone else is doing. Fasting, prayer, and reading God's Word go hand in hand. When you fast, also pray for God's purpose and plan for your life to be revealed.
