“Fasting is typically thought of as not eating food, or certain
foods, for a period of time in order to focus on something other
than the food. Fasting can also be abstaining from an activity.
The purpose of fasting as a spiritual discipline is to use the fast,
the time and intention away from something significant, to draw
closer to God.”
