Some Christians believe going without food for a spiritual reason is either foolish or just physical penance. The truth from God's Word shows fasting, going without food or water for a committed time, to be a powerful tool in a Christian's spiritual arsenal. Fasting is used to draw us closer to God, to seek His will, to seek answers to important questions, and is a means for us to honor and praise God. Fasting is important.
