Whether you’re fasting as a beginner, joining a church-wide fast, or seeking personal breakthrough, these fasting Bible verses will guide your spirit every step of the way and provide you with scriptures to meditate on while fasting.

Before God calls us to fast, sacrifice, or simplify, He calls us to come close. Biblical femininity begins not with outward discipline, but with inward surrender. Many godly women approach Lent wondering if they are “doing it right.” But Scripture reminds us that God is far more interested in our hearts than our performance. Biblical womanhood invites us to come honestly, weary, distracted, imperfect. and allow God to do the cleansing work only He can do.
