Throughout Scripture, fasting is primarily associated with abstaining from food for a specific period of time for the purpose of seeking God. The fundamental principle of fasting can also include abstaining from any activity, event, or temporary pleasure in order to draw closer to God: abstaining from company to spend time alone with God, abstaining from sleep to spend the night in prayer, or abstaining from certain work, hobbies, or pastimes to dedicate that time to God. This manual is designed to be used with the NBLA version.
