Thank you for sharing your fasting journey.

I was sent to church when I was a child, and vacation Bible school, where we were instructed to memorize Psalm 23, thankfully. I knew my parents weren't coming to church but the lady that Mom took us to was God fearing and I didn't care that they didn't come. No idea what they spent that time doing but I'm grateful to have been shown God's Word, if, for them, only to be free from us for a while.

With that being said, I never received instruction on fasting in a Holy sense. However, now 60, I am finding Joy in His Word and fasting is giving me added moments in His Word.

Thank you, again.

I love & believe all these verses you’ve shared, especially Isaiah 58:6 which led me to read all of Isaiah chapter 58, titled TRUE FASTING in my NIV version. If we fast with humility & a pure heart, if we draw near & call to the Lord, He will answer and guide & strengthen us. Amen & Amen !
