Scripture: Matthew 17:20-21

20 “Because of your little faith,” He told them. “For I assure you: If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you will tell this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you. 21 However, this kind does not come out except by prayer and fasting.

1. Understand Your Purpose: Could it be growing closer to God or clarity of vision & purpose? Consider what you hope to get out of this fasting period and write it down. 
2. Decide the type of fast:
   1. Water Fast: Abstain from all food and only consume water.
   2. Juice Fast: Consume only fruit or vegetable juices.
   3. Partial Fast: Restrict certain types of food or meals, such as skipping a meal or avoiding specific food groups.
   4. Time-Restricted Fast: Limit eating to a specific time window each day, for example, fasting from sunrise to sunset.
3. Set Clear Intentions
4. Prepare Mentally and Physically
5. Practice Self-Care
6. Break the Fast Mindfully

Prayer: Dear Lord, 

I thank you for life. Allow me to grow closer to you. Allow your Holy Spirit to guide and minister to me on this journey. Rid me of habits and mindsets that drive me away from you. Build up my spirit as I crucify my flesh. Allow me to exercise the kind of faith that only comes by prayer and fasting. Do a marvelous work in me. It is in the Name of Jesus I pray Amen!
