Fasting helps a Christian grow spiritually. and is more than a mere ritual.

The choice to fast is a choice to humble yourself before God.

The key to fasting is a change in attitude. A change from pride and confidence in our flesh and blood selves to a humbling acknowledgment or our body’s weakness and constant need for sustenance from external sources like protein, carbohydrates and water.

The humbling physical effects of fasting remind us that we are totally dependent upon continual supplies of food and water to live out our days in the flesh. Likewise, we are totally dependent upon on God our Father Creator for any hope of life after our physical bodies die.
