First off, it is not real fasting, it's fasting from something I spend too much time with and more with than with God. I've been fasting from video games since the start of school this year, promising God I would do without them for an entire school year until the beginning of next summer. Twice I have played so far: Once by accident (cell phone) and the second I chose to play games when my friend tempted me really, really much. I promised God I'd do this because I love Him, but things are getting stupid because I am not playing games. I don't want to sound holy like the Pharisees in the Bible do, proclaiming that they are fasting, but I just need help on what to do. Should I cancel the fasting, probably disappointing God and my family but pleasing my friend who says it's stupid for doing it an entire year OR Should I continue as I promised to God, because Jesus even said to keep our promises to God, and to show I truly love the LORD but probably upsetting my friend, maybe losing him for (according to him) OVERDOING my faith to the point of annoying people and turning them away from God.
