Then Jesus said to His disciples, “If any of you wants to be My follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow Me.”
Matthew 16:24

Fasting is not our way but it is the way of Christ. When we fast, we deny ourselves the necessity of food or the pleasures of this life and, for a time, we make feeding your spirit
a higher priority than feeding our body and soul.

Fasting allows us to line up our heart and prayer life with God’s desires rather than pursuing our own agenda. You may fast for a specific time from food or from luxuries like Netflix, social media or even chocolate. Some people fast for a day, others for a week or two, and still others might fast as long as 40 days, the entire length of Lent.
By denying yourself, you invite the Holy Spirit to examine your life and lead you into the plans He has for you.

Palm Sunday is this Sunday!! This is the final week before Holy Week! It’s been a wonderful 40 days! Continue to seek the face of God and thirst after His righteousness.
