Fasting

“They mourned and wept and fasted until evening for Saul and his son Jonathan, and for the people of the LORD and the house of Israel, because they had fallen by the sword.”

“Yet when they were ill, I put on sackcloth; I humbled myself with fasting, but my prayers returned unanswered.”

“Then the king went to his palace and spent the night fasting. No entertainment was brought before him, and sleep fled from him.”

“David pleaded with God for the boy. He fasted and went into his house and spent the night lying in sackcloth on the ground.”

““Go and assemble all the Jews who can be found in Susa, and fast for me. Do not eat or drink for three days, night or day, and I and my maidens will fast as you do. After that, I will go to the king, even though it is against the law. And if I perish, I perish!””

“And after they had fasted and prayed, they laid their hands on them and sent them off.”

“Paul and Barnabas appointed elders for them in each church, praying and fasting as they entrusted them to the Lord, in whom they had believed.”

“So I turned my attention to the Lord God to seek Him by prayer and petition, with fasting, sackcloth, and ashes.”
