Check out the Show Notes
Fasting is a spiritual discipline, and the purpose is to help you grow closer to the Lord. Sometimes, the logistics, planning, and idea of being hungry can overwhelm the spiritual pursuit. Before, during, and after your fast, keep a focus on prayer, reading the Word of God, and being led by the Holy Spirit.

7 Practical Tips for Beginning a Christian Fast
1. Remember that this is a spiritual practice: pray, worship and read the Word.
2. Reduce and eliminate caffeine.
3. Drink more water - 64 ounces daily minimum.
4. Taper items you’ll be abstaining from.
5. Eat smaller meals mindfully.
6. Make a meal plan (liquid or partial fasting).
7. Enlist prayer support.
