How to Begin
Start with short fasts and gradually extend the duration as you grow in this discipline. Always seek medical advice if you have health conditions. Remember that fasting is not about earning God's favor but about positioning your heart to hear His voice more clearly. Combine fasting with prayer and Scripture reading for maximum spiritual benefit. The goal is intimacy with God, not religious performance.
