The purpose of a biblical fast is not to lose weight, but rather to gain deeper fellowship with God.
Instead, the purpose of fasting should be to take your eyes off the things of this world to focus completely on God.
Fasting is not a way to get God to do what we want.
Ministry can, and should, include ministering to the physical, emotional, mental, vocational, and financial needs of others.
Everyone can temporarily give up something in order to draw closer to God.
