Fasting

Matthew 9:14-17New Living Translation (NLT)

A Discussion about Fasting

14 One day the disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus and asked him, “Why don’t your disciples fast like we do and the Pharisees do?”

15 Jesus replied, “Do wedding guests mourn while celebrating with the groom? Of course not. But someday the groom will be taken away from them, and then they will fast.

16 “Besides, who would patch old clothing with new cloth? For the new patch would shrink and rip away from the old cloth, leaving an even bigger tear than before.

17 “And no one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine is stored in new wineskins so that both are preserved.”

 Dear Father, Fasting is a way I put my mind on you. When I fast, I think more about you. Thank you for your Word. Thank you for your encouragement. Thank you, that when I fast, it brings me closer to you. In Jesus’ Name I Pray, Amen.
