Faith Lived Out ~Bible Verses about Marriage, God’s Wisdom and Encouragement for Christian Women

When we are struggling, hurting, or seeking direction for our lives, people may give us the advice to fast and pray. But, what is fasting in the bible? What does scripture show us is the purpose of fasting? When and how do we do this and will it make a difference?

Join me as we take a look at one of my favorite books of the Bible and what it teaches us about our dependence on God through fasting.

Let’s get started.
