Spiritual Disciplines (Week 10): Fasting
PRAY
Before you begin reading, reflecting, discussing, and applying, begin by opening your heart up to our Creator and Sustainer. Praise Him and ask Him to incline your heart to His.
STUDY
Read Matthew 6 and Isaiah 58. Take time to reflect on Jesus’ heart behind the spiritual disciplines.
DISCUSS
What place has the discipline of fasting played in your life? Are you content with the extent to which you have used this tool in your walk with God and the purposes you have in Him? What are the benefits of fasting?
LIVE
Consider how you can discipline your life so that fasting becomes a regular part of your life. Ask God to help you choose a method of fasting (food or something else) and then walk it out. Start small and healthy, but be purposeful about growing in your ability to fast. Use a journal to be even more purposeful in your reflection and evaluation of the discipline.
