I will be honest, I have struggled with fasting my entire time in the church which is 55 years this November. I do know that fasting for a purpose helps. And filling your Sabbath days with things of the Lord helps so that your mind is not on food. I have a testimony of the word of wisdom, I have a testimony of tithes and offerings. I love being generous in both of those areas. But I’m afraid by the time fast Sunday rolls around I am not fasting for a purpose I am just going hungry. Diligence wins the race! I have learned that you need to start preparing for fast Sunday days beforehand. Be thinking about what you’re fasting for, and it helps to read many things that have been taught about fasting and having Joy. There’s no greater Joy than self-mastery. No greater Joy than your spirit ruling your flesh! So I won’t give up!
