A fast involves sacrificing something important (even vital, like food) to create time, space, and focus to commune with God about the things on His heart and yours. In this way, fasting is feasting on His sustaining presence. The goal is to draw near to God, so it always involves speaking with and listening to God. Merely abstaining from food or some other activity is not the goal, but a means to create the space to focus on communion with Him. We invite you to take some time on Day Three to hear this word from Pastor Gabe Valenzuela. As you listen, may the Lord meet you and draw you nearer to Himself.
