Thank you for this cards interpretation, of exactly what reason ∧ why we should pray so diligently! (I was given these same divine wisdom words one day over some odd 25 yrs or so in my head;and I've been living these truths ever since.) basically what its saying ,is that no matter how impossible things may seem,no matter how depressed we may be because of the situation/etc; or when we feel we can't go on ,& life has no meaning,(That God in his infinite wisdom),Has a reason for what happened,it may not be today,tomorrow,etc; but we will receive an answer & it Will be for a greater good!(we may not understand the reason something happens to us/loved one ;but God in his infinate wisdom knows what we need,& will give accordingly to all that dilligently seek "Him"...PUSH,(I Like That!)...peace,love & hope

Now that you have asked the question of correct ways of fasting here is something u may want to share.
Tsum The Hebrew word means to abstain from food. At times drinks,bathing,anointing with oil,sexual intercourse as well.In essence fasting acknowledges human frailty before God.And appeals to His mercy.Fasting was a common practice in the ancient world.associated with mourning for the dead(2Sam.12:21,22).Intercessary prayer(Esther4:3;16).Repentance and contrition for sins(Jere.36:9 Jonah3:5).There is more

I liked the scripture references & list that Pastor Rob gave you. I think people are a little hesitant to give specifics because fasting is such a personal thing between you & God. To some people giving up T.V. for a week would be a fast!
First, I would say ask the Lord what He wants you to fast from & what He wants you to do while you are fasting to draw closer to Him. Second, look up & read of different fasts in the Bible.
In my opinion water is a must! Especially if you have a lot of chores to do, children to care for, etc. If you have a medical condition, are breastfeeding or have a lot of toxins in your body, you may want to start with a modified fast that includes a little juice or protein powder. I don't know what's available to you.
This is also my opinion, before you do a 30 or 40 day fast, enlist at least one prayer partner or your spouse to hold you up in prayer. Rest & pray as much as possible.
