I've tried to do a water fast and pray at the same time once before but had no success. I would like to fast for a week or so. Anyone have any tips?

Hey Bear,

I used to fast quite a bit and I'll share a trap a person can fall into easily. That is to concentrate on what you are not doing rather than what you are doing. This can derail a fast into just being hungry and looking forward to when you can eat, although denying the flesh has some merit I think it is better to be so busy feeding the Spirit that you forget to eat.

Either stay busy or sleep all day! (Just kidding)



One thing that helps me is I NEVER tell anyone I'm going to fast. Having a secret between just me and Jesus makes it fun. And Ttb, do a lot of praying during your fast. Just get alone with Him as much as you can. With your mind on Christ, food will take a back seat. Praying God gives you the strength to do whatever you set your hand to. :angel:
