I don't believe in fasting unless directed by the Lord. Usually when someone says, "I am going to or have fasted", it's because the Lord laid that on their heart.
At first you think it's your idea, but during or after you realize it was directed by the Lord.

Is this type of fasting only brought about by extremely sorrowful situations?
I can think of two examples:
1. David before the death of Bathsheba's child.
2. Nehemiah after hearing of the ruination of the holy city.
