I’m not saying we need to fast for 40 days! This is just an example.
(But specifically, if we are talking about lent, it begins on shrove Tuesday (pancake day!) and ends after 40 days (Easter!) which commemorates Jesus’s time in the desert.)
My point is, even Jesus needed to take a ‘time out’ and spend quality time with His father, and so do we. I’ve mentioned before that faith is about having a relationship.
(Relevant Reading: Developing an Indestructible Faith)
One of the most important aspects of relationship is time, so fasting is about that time. This is important as it helps us to build this relationship with God; the Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
