I would like to begin a fasting practice for spiritual and health reasons. I believe I will start with a 16/8 fast. Thanks for the inspiration!
Hey, it’s a good decision you’ve taken. I am praying for you that God will give you the strength to practice this spiritual devotion. May He also crown your effort with success. At the end of it all, you would have a heart of consecration and a holistic sense of wellbeing. Could you also elaborate on the 16/8 fast method? Is it a 16 hour fast for 8 days or vice versa?
I started a fast with my church but I felt that I wasn’t making the most of it because I couldn’t even answer why I was fasting in the first place. After reading this article and following the detailed guides to plan my first, it’s safe to say that I’m going to make the most out of this fasting season. Thank you Archie of Chieflings! You may not be the superhero, but this is one super guide!
I’m glad you found the guide helpful, Abigail. Fasting can be a powerful spiritual practice when done with the right intention and preparation. May you continue to have fruitful fasting seasons :)!
