Fasting: 7 Results

In his book, "Spiritual Disciplines for the Christian Life," Donald Whitney gives 7 possible results of fasting.

1.  We pray more intently.
2.  We are more in tune with God's guidance and will.
3.  We press into God and His Word more so that we can hear His voice.
4.  We have true repentance of our sins.
5.  We acknowledge our dependance on God even for our basic survival.
6.  We are more keen and receptive spiritually.
7.  We are better prepared to put others above ourselves.

Which of these have you seen in your life as a result of the past few weeks?
