Fasting is all about sacrifice. It's "easy" to give up or sacrifice coffee for the fast if you only
drink it occasionally! A real sacrifice is giving up coffee if you are totally addicted to your coffee or
getting your daily Starbucks! Fasting/sacrificing is as in the Bible building an altar and laying your sacrifice on it that honors God. It will cost your convenience, your comfort, and it will also take some serious willpower & commitment. What will your sacrifice be during this fast? Make sure it's a sacrifice that will cost you something. Make yourcommitment in writing and share it with a friend who willhold you accountable to your comitment. Pray for God toshow you what He wants you tosacrifice. The word "fast" according to biblical
terms refers to food. The Daniel's fast is to fast food. A sacrifice of another significant thing in our live is what the Lord is wanting us to give up for him.
