Everybody fasts. 

You have fasted many times. In fact, you fasted today. If you went without food between dinner and morning, you fasted. Your “breakfast” broke your nighttime fast. All of us fast, often without thinking about it. We will hopefully remedy that in the pages of Learning to Fast Again. What would it look like to fast intentionally? What might be the benefits?

Fasting is not necessarily completely giving up all food. Much of the fasting in the Bible is partial fasting – giving up certain kinds of food or drink for a time. Fasting is abstaining from anything for a period of time: food, alcohol, sweets, smoking, speaking, sex, the internet or television. If you’ve ever set aside or given up something for a time, you’ve fasted. 

God cannot fill what is full.
