What Is Fasting?

DAY 4 OF 7

Fasting: Be intentional as you grow in faith during this time.


OTHER COMMON QUESTIONS 

Q. What if I have a medical condition?

A. Consult your doctor before starting any fast. Decide together what is possible. If your health condition prohibits you from fasting food, try fasting something else and concentrate on prayer and Bible study. God knows your heart.

 
Q. I forgot and ate something that wasn't on my fast; do I need to start again? 

A. No, think of fasting as a marathon, rather than a sprint. Don't give up! If you fall down, get up and keep trying.

 
Q. Do I continue to exercise while fasting? 

A. For most people moderate exercise is okay. But it is always best to consult a doctor about fasting and exercise. If you are on a complete fast, you may not have the energy for exercise.

About this Plan

What Is Fasting?

WHAT IS FASTING? Fasting is giving up something for a specified number of days for a specific purpose. The type and length of the fast you choose is between you and God and should not be determined by what anyone else is doing. Fasting, prayer, and reading God's Word go hand in hand. When you fast, also pray for God's purpose and plan for your life to be revealed.
