Boundless Challenge Task 17

I can not fast because of a diet I am following. But I can fast from a certain food. My pastor recently did a fast for 40 days and he still ate soups and certain things. His daughter who is little gave up bread for 40 days. There are many different ways to fast. I don't have anything wrong with fasting. I think it is a time for prayer and speaking to God. My mom explained it to me as a child by saying you should be praying so much that you don't think about eating. I think if I gave up food or something else and worked on my prayer life it would be good for me to get closer to God and pray about things in my life I am struggling with.
