Since Old Testament times, God's people have engaged in the spiritual tradition of fasting: going without food for a predetermined length of time to accomplish an important purpose or goal. Fasting can be done for any number of reasons: to get to know God better, to wait on God for an answer to prayer, to listen to God, to worship him, and much more.

Dr. Elmer Towns is dean of the school of religion at Liberty University in Lynchburg, Virginia
