Prayer and Fasting go hand in hand. Jesus taught the Lord’s Prayer as the model for how to pray and showed us that when we prayed this way, it praises God and covers everything believers need in this life to attain eternal happiness. The Bible teaches fasting as an expression of faith in God’s word and will. When Jesus taught His disciples to pray the Lord’s Prayer, He immediately concluded, Now when you fast . . .” (Matthew 6:16).
