Pray and ask God for guidance before beginning
Choose a clear spiritual purpose for the fast
Decide the type of fast you will do
Set a start time and end time
Prepare your heart with repentance and humility
Read Scripture and meditate on God’s word
Replace meals or habits with prayer
Seek God in worship and quiet reflection
Avoid distractions that pull your focus away from God
Stay obedient to what God is leading you to do
Drink water and care for your body as needed
Break the fast wisely and gradually
Give thanks to God after the fast
Continue in prayer and obedience after the fast
