agr's question: "What is your point of view on fasting?"
Fasting is a personal voluntary experience. It is a private thing not a secret thing.
For me it changes the focus from self to God and is mentioned in the Bible as an aid to my prayer life.
Fasting is abstaining from something, it is physical self-denial and preparation - time apart to let God exercise His way. We should fast sacrificially - it should cost us something.
Fasting and prayer went together in the early church. Guidance, power and authority were expected after prayer and fasting.
Jesus said WHEN you fast - it was a normal part of His life.
