What Matthew 6:16 says:
"And when you fast, dont make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get."
He says "WHEN you fast," Just curious, how many of you guys have ever fasted? And, being a girl, have in past years been guilty of while fasting, almost subconsciously using it as a form of dieting and not for prayer and focusing on God more. Plus parents don't really understand when you just don't have dinner, but fasting should be kept between just you and God...
So anyway, has anyone ever fasted before? Opinions on fasting?
