Faith Habits: Fasting
Fasting is a hidden practice of saying ‘no’ to good things for a time so that we can say a deeper ‘yes’ to God, training our desires away from constant indulgence towards holiness and hunger for his presence.
If the Gospel is counter-cultural, a tangible way of expressing that is in the practice of fasting. While the world is consuming, the people of God deny themselves to fix their attention and passion and hunger on God.
