HERE ARE 4 WAYS YOU CAN FAST AND PRAY. 
1. MAJOR FAST   A major fast is when you abstain from food or drink for 24 consecutive hours
or more. A major fast requires a certain level of physical health.
2. MINOR FAST   In a minor fast, you choose to abstain from food for a certain period of time.
This fast is sometimes called a "Jewish Fast", and it can last for days at a time, eating
only at a set time of the day.
3. PARTIAL FAST   A partial fast is when you give up only certain foods during the course of
your fast.  This fast is sen most clearly in Daniel 1, where Daniel abstains from certain foods out of devotion to God for a period of time.
4.  SOUL FAST   some people choose to fast from things other than food.  Somepeople will give up
television, social media, or other activities for a soul fast to focus on prayer.

Each of these fasts can be a valuable way of connecting with God more deeply.  If you are physically able, though, I would encourage you to prayerfully consider one of the first three fasts.
There is something about giving up food that physically and spiritually realigns you in ways nothing else can.
