A phrase that is often used for those who fight a battle or have a common goal is to "band together." The mutual support of others can be an encouragement to push through opposition. This theme comes out in Ecclesiastes where it talks about the strength of a braided cord. Jesus' teaching also covered this when He talks about the power of praying with others. Yet when it comes to fasting, we are hesitant about sharing the experience as a group. Marie Dell talks about a way to approach fasting with others.

Jesus made it clear that we are not to make it obvious that we are fasting. We are not to call attention to the sacrifice that we are making. Is that why we hesitate to do a group fast? As Marie said, there can be a great benefit to fasting as a shared experience. You can use the lessons you learn as a way to give glory to God. As the days and months pass, you will have a common point of reflection that you use to offer praise to God.
And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—a threefold cord is not quickly broken.
For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”
“And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward.
Let each of us please his neighbor for his good, to build him up.
