Fasting can feel like a “Lent-only” discipline—something reserved for solemn weeks leading up to Resurrection Sunday. But Scripture shows fasting is far bigger than a seasonal tradition. It’s a focused way to deny yourself something temporary (often food) so you can “feast” on the presence of God through prayer, His Word, and deeper dependence.
The Christian Woman’s Guide to Fasting and Prayer walks you through what fasting actually is, why believers fasted throughout the Old and New Testaments, and how prayer transforms fasting from mere deprivation into spiritual intimacy. You’ll see how God’s people fasted in desperate moments, for closeness to God, for spiritual warfare, and for guidance in ministry. You’ll also get practical pointers—how to plan wisely, protect your health, keep your fast private, and start small if you’re new to it.
If your heart is craving clarity, renewed discipline, or a fresh spiritual breakthrough, this guide is designed to help you step into fasting with confidence and purpose.
