Fasting is a challenging experience, but it can also be richly rewarding.

There are numerous accounts of fasting for various reasons in the Old Testament including but not limited to, seeking revelation (Daniel), outnumbered by the enemy in battle (Jehoshaphat), favor with the King (Esther), humility (David), and repentance (Ahab).

The fast written about here is the “bridegroom fast” spoken of by Jesus, the believer’s bridegroom.
