Via Sojourners:
“There is no need to push yourself to heroic effort where fasting is concerned. If you feel tempted to do so, take a hard look at your motives…. “More” is not necessarily “better” in this matter. Perhaps you are called just to be faithful in the humble practice of a short fast once a week. Do not underestimate what God can accomplish in you through the consistent offering of such a discipline.”
