ENCOURAGEMENT ROOTED IN SCRIPTURE, LED BY FAITH

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.

Fasting can feel intimidating, especially for Christian women who already feel stretched thin. Yet Scripture presents fasting not as punishment, but as invitation. In biblical womanhood, fasting is not about proving spiritual strength. It is about cultivating spiritual desire. During Lent, fasting gently helps us loosen our grip on what fills us so we can more fully receive God.

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.

Biblical womanhood reminds us that God does not measure significance the way the world does. What feels small to you may be sacred to Him. In God’s Kingdom, faithfulness in the ordinary is never wasted.
