Matthew 5:16-18

Fasting

I’ve fasted for a very long time. It started when we left the service because we didn’t have much money. I just didn’t eat throughout the day while working. Granted it wasn’t always that bad but I’ve inadvertently partially conditioned my body for it which turns out to be a blessing! In my studies of the Bible fasting is mentioned often. It’s a very personal decision to deny your earthly body what it uses for power and spend that time praying and talking with the Lord. I think it strengthens our connection with the Lord because you’re relying on him during that time to sustain you. It’s a moment of weakness willingly offered by you for him.
