6. "unintentionally i eat like 12:30-11pm" In response to Reply # 0 Wed Dec-19-18 11:52 AM by BrooklynWHAT
i know it's not supposed to be that late but i usually sit down for dinner around like 8 and i usually like a snack before bed some nights. if not i'm done around 8. i've just never liked to eat first thing in the morning so that's how that came about.
more you do it, easier it is. almost 5pm here on my day off and ive only had black coffee. still need to figure out a good rhythm for my new work schedule.
i want to try some extended longer duration fasts. longest i've gone is a little over 24 hours.
12. "Prayer is a major part in conjunction with fasting for me." In response to Reply # 11
>What sort of spiritual practices are you doing? Meditation?
I always use that time period for praying and meditating on God. Praying to be more like Him. Leaning on Him for strength. Meditating on good things and good deeds that can be done. You always seem to get better clarity when you go through a long fast.
14. "I am from the Quran as well as scripture" In response to Reply # 13
The Quran says:
2:183 O ye who believe! Fasting is prescribed to you as it was prescribed to those before you, that ye may (learn) self-restraint
A text from scripture:
To worship God. Luke 2 tells the story of an 84-year-old prophetess named Anna. Verse 37 says, “She never left the temple but worshiped night and day, fasting and praying.” Anna was devoted to God, and fasting was one expression of her love for Him.
Fasting is always used as worship towards God and to draw closer. It can be useful for repentance and to make important decisions. It doesn’t necessarily have to be abstaining from food. It can be things that you do on a day-to-day basis. Since food is a necessity then that is the main thing that people go for. Social media is another thing that people gravitate towards that you can “fast” from doing. You can set meat aside for a set period of time and just do fruits and vegetables. The object is not only to become closer to God, but to gain clarity, renewed vigor, and self-control.
Yes, i think fasting can help people change their minds for the better. Acquisitive patterns of thought may fade. Gets us away from the pleasure chase, the need for new distractors. Best of luck making good use of it.
