Before beginning the Prayer and Fasting, ask God to purify your heart, cleanse your heart and mind of any un-confessed sins. Consult your physician if you take medication or have any health ailments. Determine in your heart how you will fast and stick to it. Prepare your heart and mind by meditating on God’s word each day and remembering that God Loves You!
