Fasting in Faith for a Week

Fasting might seem scary or difficult if you have never done it, but I encourage you to do it! Personally, I was terrified of fasting for the first time. I didn’t think that I could do it because food had a lot of control over me. Through fasting food no longer had that stronghold over me.

God revealed many things to me as I fasted and prayed for those around me. I was reminded of the miracles that He performs in people’s lives and how important it is to make time for Him. I was shown just how much I allowed food to control my life and how it put a wedge between me and God.

I was always told that fasting can bring you closer to the Lord and honestly, it is the truth because you are looking to Him for fulfilment rather than looking at other things for fulfillment. If you have never fasted, I encourage you to do so.

Pray and ask God how you should do it. I fasted during the day but was able to eat breakfast and dinner. I fasted from 8am-5pm and most days I would go past 5pm because I wanted to. Not everyone’s fasting journey is going to look the same, but God can work through each of ours no matter how we do it.

If you have questions about my fasting or how to start fasting, I would love to answer them. Just comment them below.
