Fasting is humbling

Once in a week try and fast for sometime. As a kid I was encouraged to fast regularly. Especially it was a ritual to fast on every Friday for half a day. This time coincided to match the prayer night at our church. I loved Fridays especially because though we fasted for half a day I could have all the snacks in the other half. 

As I grew up the habit stayed and I continued to fast and spend some quality time with the Lord. God has always been closer when I fast and trust me fasting is humbling. It teaches you to connect with The Lord on the highest level and seek his grace. 

Make sure you drink enough fluids and be hydrated when you fast. Spend time with God when you fast.
