Types of fasting
There are various types of things you can Fast. You don’t need to do what everyone else is doing, you need to think about something that takes up a lot of your time. This could be food, social media, gaming, reading or even going out with friends every week. If something has taken over a lot of time in your life, this would be the ideal thing to Fast. Anything that you can do less of, in order to spend more time with God.
An example of what you could do is below, alongside some links to give you more advice on the different types of fast (click on the coloured text).
