The spiritual practices of praying, giving, fasting – all foster dependence upon the Lord and help us connect with Him.
They also undermine several strong cultural strongholds:
Giving – fights against Mammon and the love of money
Prayer – fights against self-reliance; more subtly - fights against busyness (prayer always takes time)
Fasting – fights against indulgence and being controlled by our appetites
