Fasting
If you want to hear from God, fasting will clear the brain fog so His voice becomes clear. It's your mind's power over your body. Remember, our body is just a vessel; we are spirit and soul, but we need our body to do the work God called us to do. When you fast, it triggers autophagy, which cleanses your body and brain of useless, dead cells. It's the perfect way to renew your mind.
However, like praying in private, we should also fast in private. In Jesus's day, people wanted attention to show how religious they were and would act tired, walking around with a long, diminished-looking face so people would notice. Jesus says our appearance should look like any other day, and like what he said about praying in private, he also says fasting in private will be rewarded by God openly.
Our food is laced with so many chemicals that fasting will give our bodies a break and help promote our healing. If you are struggling with health issues, it might be a good idea to include fasting and praying in your healing process. If you are facing issues or conflicts and need God's direction, fasting with prayer will show God how serious you are and may prompt Him to answer your prayer more decisively, essentially rewarding you openly.
But thou, when thou fastest, anoint thine head, and wash thy face; That thou appear not unto men to fast, but unto thy Father which is in secret: and thy Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee openly. Matthew 6:17-18
