The Joy and Pains of Fasting

---

I started fasting yesterday and I must say I felt horrible.  Sometimes the benefits of fasting seem afar off compared to the discomfort.  This does not mean I have given up on fasting it just means I need to incorporate the other part of it even more and that is prayer.  When we focus on just the fasting part it no longer is a spiritual discipline but just a going thru the motions or should I say a tolerance.  Prayer is what changes this.  Prayer is designed to give power and focus.  Prayer works.
