If someone asked you the best thing they could do when they desperately needed God to work in their lives, would the idea of "fasting" even come to mind? Scripture teaches us that when it comes to seeking God, fasting goes hand-in-hand with prayer, but it's rarely a priority for most of us. When we're faced with a difficult situation, giving up our bodies so we can focus more deeply on the Lord isn't just a good exercise -- it's a sign of spiritual obedience.
