Fasting (Neh. 9:1-3)

Read Nehemiah 9:1-3.

1. What does this paragraph tell you about fasting?  (Give your own answer before continuing to number two.)
2. Fasting is self-imposed discomfort, willful self-abasement , for the purpose of hearing God clearly. 
3. In its strictest sense, fasting is abstaining from food for a predetermined period of time.
4. Fasting is linked with separation, confession and worship.  When you fast, do more than not eat.  Take time to pray.
