Fasting?

[TimK]

I was just wondering if someone could fill me in on the practice of fasting? Such as, where is it supported in scripture, why it is supported in scripture and how do we implement it into our lifes? It is my understanding that deep prayer and focus on God are done while fasting. How does fasting help us to do those things more effectivley? Or is it simply a symbolic guesture to the Lord?

Thank you for your time and input!

Thank you for directing me to those. I tried to do a search but couldn't find anything specific. Maybe I gave up to easy.

Thank You!

Was your post about fasting from a book? If it was I would appreciate it if you could give me the title and the author. Thanks
