Lesson Overview
The Bible indicates that prayer with fasting is something God values and blesses, but misunderstandings about fasting abound. Fasting isn’t a practice reserved for the “super spiritual” or something we do to earn God’s attention or approval. Fasting is, however, a way to grow closer in our relationship with God. This lesson takes a down-to-earth look at why fasting matters and offers helpful insight for how to do it.
