Fasting is a forgotten spiritual discipline that Jesus expected His followers to practice regularly alongside prayer and giving. The modern church has largely abandoned this biblical practice, missing out on its spiritual benefits including developing self-discipline, bringing spiritual purification, and facilitating generosity. There are four main types of fasting: major fasts (abstaining from food and drink), minor fasts (abstaining from food for set periods), partial fasts (giving up certain foods), and soul fasts (abstaining from non-food items). The key is choosing a fast that requires genuine sacrifice while being achievable, and using the time normally spent eating to draw closer to God through prayer and spiritual reflection.
