Fasting Prayer Points
The focus of a Fast, whether it is the Daniel Fast or a modified fast to include fast such as Lent, is prayer. While it’s natural to be concerned about what you can or can not eat, your priority on the fast should always be calling out to God on behalf of your own needs and the needs of others. Your priority should be finding the best ways to spend time with God.
