Yesterday I practiced a spiritual discipline yesterday that I have not done in years... I truly fasted. I deprived myself and every time I felt the pains of that deprivation I prayed, I reflected, I remembered that for a time I was praying with my whole body! I can not say that I heard the audible voice of God during this time, but I did feel like a spent a day "with" God.
Will I do this everyday, no that is not safe or healthy.
Will I do this every week, most likely not...
But from time to time I will remember this ancient practice and participate in a tradition of my faith; Denying ones self, decreasing so that God may increase.
