We fast not to earn God’s love to surrender more completely to it.

Fasting is the giving up of something, usually food, in order to focus on God and your relationship with Him.

How do you fast?

Give yourself to prayer.
Don’t make a show of it.
Spend a lot of time in the Bible.
Be quiet in front of the Lord.
Make new commitments to God.
Be thankful.

Consider fasting from something for the next week. What is something that keeps you from a deeper and closer relationship with God? Food, drink, social media, etc. Put it down for a week and pick up God’s Word and prayer when you would normally be going to that thing.

Prayer Focus:
ADORE God for wanting a relationship with you.
CONFESS your dependance on other things other than God.
THANK God for coming near to you in the face of Jesus.
SUPPLICATE (Beg) God for perseverance throughout something that you need to give up.
SILENTLY Reflect on Matthew 6:16-18
