Saying Yes To God
Fasting helps us recognize our dependence on God. We must make sure we approach our fast with the right attitude and intentions.
Fasting is an act that Christians have practiced since Biblical times. Even our Savior, Jesus Christ, fasted. It helps us to take our eyes off of our current worldly situation and focus our need toward dependence on God. Although not a regular part of most Christians' lives, fasting is a proven way to see spiritual growth. It is our choice to make. Listen to bestselling author Robert Wolgemuth speak about this choice.
The change in attitude that Robert speaks of may make a drastic difference in your fast. Think back to the purpose of fasting. It is a faith-based practice that helps us grow closer toward Christ. When done out of reluctance and self-will, it could have the opposite effect. As you prepare to fast, make sure your attitude and intentions are what God desires. Let Him guide you to the right purpose.

About this Plan
When starting a journey, it is helpful to know where you are going. The same is true when you fast. It does not have to be an elaborate plan with every detail known. It may be as simple as a desire for a stronger walk with God. But there are times when God may be leading you to fast for a purpose. This is a five-day plan with audio.
