Fasting was one of my least favorite spiritual disciplines. Fasting has caused me to have horrible migraines and be so sick I couldn’t eat for hours afterward. I couldn’t see how violent sickness drew me closer to God. Now that I’m older and wiser, I realize God didn’t expect that of me. Yes, I still fast, but to prevent sickness I don’t fast without liquids now. And, it doesn’t have to be for 24 hours either. Fasting for me is just hanging out with God. It’s also a fast from the news and from social media, giving me time to listen for his voice without distractions.
Hanging Out With God

Briefly Speaking 
I’m with you. It made me sick and my attention was only on the food I didn’t eat and what I would eat. Now spending time with God is my goal. Thanks Sheila!
