Sometimes it can be difficult to make the concentrated effort of prayer. When the need is urgent, God has prescribed an urgent method. Tony Evans asks, “How badly do you want an answer? How much do you want deliverance from that destructive habit? How badly do you want to save your marriage? Do you want it enough to give up food or some other gratification? Then come before God with prayer and fasting.”
Fasting is a way to make a special link with God. Fasting helps believers get in touch with God without distractions, pursue God’s grace, step into humility, achieve spiritual victory, and wait before the Lord. Fasting is an appropriate response to physical or emotional needs, difficult circumstances or relationships, challenges in ministry, or times we need specific direction. Fasting is not just an aside to the Christian life, but essential to the life that pleases God.
