Fast and Pray




Fasting is a way for us to gain mastery over the flesh.  I have never fasted for the purpose of prayer, but I have denied myself a snack that I was craving even though I wasn't actually hungry.  I felt empowered when the craving disappeared without having bodily satisfied it.  In this small way I gained mastery over my flesh.  I can see where this could be very useful when praying for something I need to overcome.
