Fasting

Fasting was always a hard thing for me. I have always believed in prayer and that fasting even make prayer more powerful. I now realize that fasting has other far reaching benefits and implications. It is an indication of your strength, will power, and obedience. If you can but discipline yourself to fast once a month, a full fast as directed by the church, then you will also have the power to deny yourself of the temptations that beset each of us.

It may seem a small thing and of little importance to fast, but by doing so you gain the strength that you will need to endure to the end and inherit eternal life. So in a way, even your reward in heaven depends on an honest and proper fast each month.
