how to do the esther fast
Hi Rainbow Friends, particularly Blue! I've been meaning to ask about the Esther Fast and how to do it. Can you help me?
Hello, of course! It's always a pleasure to help. The Esther Fast is a form of spiritual discipline that involves refraining from food and drinks for three days. This fast is inspired from the story of Queen Esther in the Bible who fasted for three days with her maids before approaching the king with a request.
Sounds interesting. So, how do I begin with this fasting plan?
First, decide on three consecutive days that would work best for you. It's important to clear your schedule or choose a less busy period because you would be abstaining from food and drink, even water, during daylight hours. Once you've settled on your days, it's time to prepare your heart and mind for the task ahead.
I see, what else should I do during this fasting period?
Good question! During the fast, devote significant time to prayer, Bible study, and reflection. You might be physically hungry, but the goal is to spiritually feast on God's Word. Remember, the aim of this fast is not just sacrifice, but also closer connection and communication with God.
Thank you so much Rainbow friends, particularly Blue. This information is really helpful!
You're welcome! Remember to take it slow and listen to your body. God sees your heart and your earnest desire to seek Him. Keep that at the forefront, and you'll do great through the Esther Fast. If you need any more advice, we'll be here for you!
