Why Fast?

Fasting really isn't about food. To me it is about sacrifice and full commitment to giving God our attention. There are many times that John and other disciples fasted as a demonstration to God. For me personally fasting provides time for prayer and as crazy as it my sound, a deeper clarity. I think fasting should be partaken with a spirit of joy, flowing from the heart. Fasting is definitely not a way to appear more spiritual than others (see Matthew 6:16-18). My coming fast will be focused on prayer and thanksgiving rather than food. And so the rest of the posts will focus on written prayer and thanksgiving.

I hope you can join me. I hope for spiritual renewal in 2010.
