Fasting Purpose Sheet
My Cause or reason for fasting:
- my desire is to deepen my relationship with God
- Secondly to make a prayer list that I can pray through on a daily/weekly/monthly basis
Who I will ask to fast with me (if anyone):
- i have wanted to do a fast for a along time and last week a friend sent out and email stating he was going start a fast and wondered who would like to join the fast so I decided now was the time. This is what I needed to get me from just thinking about it to actually making a decision

I believe that God is the only answer to my request and that prayer with out fasting is not enough to get an anser to my need. Therefore by faith I am fasting because I need God to work in this matter.
God being my strength and grace being my basis, I commit myself to the above fast.

Some of my fears about fasting are that I am trying to be spiritual and difficulty believing that it will make any difference. Also afraid that my hunger and physical weakness will be a hindrance.
I I believe (Hope) that this will help me e more diciplined in my prayre life, that I will learn how to depend on God more than on myself.

"The Normal Fast. IN this fast you eliminate all solid foods, drinking only liquids. IN the Bible, fasting most often reers to people not eating solid food; the issue of drinking liquids is usually omitted. This is the way Luke described the forty-day fast of Jesus: "In those days He (Jesus) ate nothing, and afterward, when they had ended, He was hungry"(Lk 4:2). Notice nothing is said about Jesus drinking liquids. ...
p.39 Remember, you fat to please God and not to please others or yourself. Ask God to lead you in what to drink, and fat wtih a good conscience toward God. Make sure you are comfortable with your fast in the presence of God, and eliminate anything that convicts your conscience: "But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from fatih" (Rom 13:23). Drink only the liquid that glorifeis God: "Whether you eat or drink, or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God"(1 Co 10:31).
