How important do you feel fasting is? Have you ever done it? As for me, fasting is sacrafice...God did it with Jesus and Jesus with us so why cant we. I have done it a couple of times and I have a sister to prove it she is now serving the Lord now and I have been blessed in so many ways thanks to GOD!

I feel it is very important. I have not done it for I take thyroid medication and it is not recommended or it will throw off my levels of medication and make me ill. Otherwise I would do it. However I have sacrificed other things.

Fasting as a spiritual discipline can be enriching for the soul. But, if you look in the Scriptures, except for Christs fast in the desert, it was only done for repentance. I question its use for other objectives. It is a personal thing, between you and God. It is never commanded and not a sin if you do not engage in it. It is to be done privately, no one else should know you are doing it.

I have attempted fasting...I think it is helpful for meditation and getting closer to God. but I don't believe it's all that important- there are other ways to meditate and get closer to God. How important do YOU believe it is to observe the sabbath day and keep it holy?

You can fast by abstaining from other things besides food.

You did a good way. Sacrified is Christ teaching us to follow.
