as for me i dont see any reasonable thing in ash wesday bcos am a penticostal believer am not a chatholic and even the lent fasting also is not evering church that practice it. bcos JESUS dont ask us to do so. so we dont make our self equil wit GOD taking 40 days fasting is making our self equeil with him, what JESUS Commmand us to do in remenbrance is the LORDs fest
The bible does encourage prayer and fasting.
Matthew 6:16-18 that
when we fast, we are to do it unto the Lord. Bible presents fasting as something that is good, profitable, and expected. Those in the bible fasted before they made important decisions. And also, there are other ways you can fast, not just giving up food, instead give up things you love for a period of time.
