One of the lost arts in spiritual discipline is fasting and dare I say prayer. For grins, ask yourself, when was the last time you spent time in prayer and chose to fast along with prayer? Fasting in the Bible was never meant for us to feel more spiritual, but it was intended for us to take our attention off of the stuff that gets it everyday and redirect our attention to God. What are you going to fast this week that will cause you to spend more concentrated time with God?
I would encourage you to read Matthew 6 and soak up what Jesus says about fasting and prayer. Remember that fasting doesn't just have to be food, maybe it is the internet, dessert, television or talking on the phone.
Go for it and get reconnected with God today!!!!
