#5 — Fasting

When we fast, it is of utmost importance to fast with purpose and not do it out of habit, where it may lose its meaning. Our intention when fasting should be to have communion with God. To be closer to him. To hear his voice and gain direction in whatever matters we may be facing. Our focus when we fast should be on God, not on ourselves. We should have joy in fasting, not have long faces so that people can pity us.
