Heh, I found too many to list (key word fasting) .

Does this link work?

Thank you 😊 🙏🏻 I been going through a lot of spiritual warfare these past few months and see fasting as important to implement in my walk with Jesus.

Why are you fasting and what are your expectations from fasting?

Glad there is a fasting thread and I just started one.

I'm hungry, fastigng feel a little dizzy.

Rick Warren says not in certain words, but you can fast to show God you are more serious with your prayers to him.
Like you want to get closer to God. I really need a breakthrough right now with my job search so I'm going to fast and see if God will give me an answer on what's going on. At least that's my hope.

Which is certainly a legitimate goal and expectation. I was just seeing what the OP was attempting to accomplish because they are new to fasting.

I'm new to fasting for God too. Today is my first fast for God.
I've done some fasting before to loose weight.

true fasting is just an intake of water, nothing else. & the real meaning of fasting is a "drawing" closer to Jesus, spiritually.

Also, fasting is our way to show the Father that we are serious about our relationship with Him! We fast to hear His voice and understand from Him what He is trying to make clear to us! Press into prayer and this will change your life as you come closer to God.

שלום עליכם
Shalom, God's peace be upon you.

Given you are not asking for prayers, it surprises me to see this discussion-thread in the sub-forum Prayer requests.

In eastern-orthodox tradition we follow vegan diet during the fast periods. It means no milk-based food, no meat, only plant-based food and prayer. The inner spiritual struggle is more intense than. I hope it helps.

God be with you. Praise Jesus.
