My acquaintances who are Muslim began the month of Ramadan fasting 13 hours a day from food and drink, even water. Beginning Sept 3 or so, for 30 days there is a conscious choice to change daily eating patterns to seek a higher good. Children are exempt of course and those who are seriously ill. But this fasting is a reminder to pray and seek God.
Last week during my devotion time, God's call for me to fast was very clear. So from now until I am settled into my new home in Jan I will be fasting one day a week and using the time gained to do more prayer and listening to God.
Stay tuned for developments from this season of spiritual exercise.
