The short answer is yes. In fasting, we surrender a habit for a period of time to connect and pray with God. For some, this might be social media or other forms of entertainment. However, we see in Scripture that the habit believers abstained from while fasting is eating.
If you’re able to, we recommend fasting from a meal (consider lunch) and replacing that time with prayer. If you’re new to fasting, start small or consider something else. If it’s medically unsafe for you, see the next FAQ.
