What do you do personally to make Fast Sunday meaningful for you?

  • For me personally, I avoid doing homework or work assignments because they stress me out and distract me from the Lord.
  • I think about my life and the lives of those around me. If there's a question I want answered (or need direction on), I fast and pray concerning that. If a friend or family member is struggling, I will fast and pray for them. When I do the latter, it's always more meaningful, probably because I see it as a service and not a burden or something to mark off the checklist.
  • Fasting for a purpose
  • I like to study conference talks that relate to faith. They help me remember to have faith in Heavenly Fathers plan for me.
  • I like to pray throughout the day and remind myself what I'm fasting for. This helps make my fast more meaningful.
  • I like looking back on my month and seeing what I did well and what I needed to improve on. Fast Sunday encourages me to set monthly goals to grow and be more Christ-like.
