“Fasting can help us overcome personal flaws and sins. It can help us
overcome our weaknesses—help them become strengths. Fasting can
help us become more humble, less prideful, less selfish, and more
concerned about the needs of others. It can help us see more clearly
our own mistakes and weaknesses and help us be less prone to criticize
others…Throughout the scriptures the term fasting is usually combined
with prayer… Fasting without prayer is just going hungry for 24 hours.
But fasting combined with prayer brings increased spiritual power.”
~ Elder Carl B. Pratt
