Joel 2:12 (ERV)
This is the Lord’s message:
“Now come back to me with all your heart.
Cry and mourn, and don’t eat anything!
Show that you are sad for doing wrong.”
Don’t fast half-heartedly, by rote, out of duty or because everyone else is doing it. To start, have a short, honest conversation with God. Without a spiritual purpose, fasting from food is simply a diet.
