THOUGHT TREAT: Fasting and Prayer Yeast Bread. When the elements of yeast and sugar are put together, this helps the bread to rise more quickly. When the elements of fasting and prayer are put together, they increase our faith (making our love four Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father increase) just like the yeast causes the bread to rise. When our faith increases we become closer to Heavenly Father. Heavenly Father then blesses us, and those for whom we fast and pray.
