So, we already know that prayer and fasting is an important aspect of the Christian walk, right? And if you need a refresher on why, please read \u201cThe Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting\u201d<\/a> blog post, which doubles as a book review. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
And fasting, what\u2019s fasting? Fasting is not even on our radars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So how do we get better? How do we make prayer and fasting a priority in our lives? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Well I discovered something that has helped me in recent months with staying on track.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I\u2019ve gotten to the point where praying daily is a necessity, not an after-thought (most days…Jesus is still working on me y’all). And fasting is becoming more and more a part of my spiritual walk, whereas previously, I rarely ever fasted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But it didn\u2019t start like that. It was hard in the beginning to remember to pray every day, or even to feel <\/em>like praying if I’m being honest. And I forgot fasting was even a thing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what I\u2019ve started to do is schedule out my prayers and fasts!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If praying regularly is difficult for you because you forget or maybe you just don\u2019t know what to pray for when it\u2019s time, scheduling out your prayers might work for you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the same way that you can schedule your prayers, you can schedule out your fasts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Decide how often you want to fast. Once a week, once a month, etc. Then on your calendar, write in the specific dates that you plan to fast for the next few months. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
These are just a few methods I use to help me stay on track with prioritizing prayer and fasting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If we\u2019re truly serious about developing a deeper spiritual life, then we will find a way to make time for the things God asks us to do. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
