The Heart of FASTING is not so much ‘going without’ or a kind of ritualised punishment, but rather the purposeful laying aside of time, focus and the questing after other ‘things’ to allow a greater space in the day for God to speak. Fasting liberates the habits of an ordinary life for the birthing of something new.
Some might Fast from certain food or drinks, but a fast might also include cutting down TV viewing, reducing screen time, leaving social media or practising the harder Fasts of laying aside criticism, gossip or negativity.
