TYPES OF FASTS
COMPLETE FAST
A full fast is when you abstain from food and drink only water or other liquids for a specified period of time or season. Fasting is meant to be a time of focus on God and growing in your relationship with Him. By removing food from your daily schedule you are able to use that time to seek God, replacing meal time with time in prayer. If you are doing a “liquids only” fast, remember to increase your daily water intake as some of our daily water intake comes from food. Drink more than usual to avoid dehydration, however do not overdue it as too much water intake can have negative results as well.
