When the nation was faced with disaster, Jehoshapat called upon the people to get serious with God by going without food for a designated time. By seperating themselves from the daily routine of food preparation and eating, they could devote that extra time to considering their sin and praying to God for help., Hunger pangs would reinforce their feelings of penitence and remind them of their weakness and their dependence upon God. Fasting still can be heplful today as we seek God's will in special situations of our lives.
