Fasting is hard for me. Not only do I crave food, but I also hunger for the fellowship of mealtime – the camaraderie, the conversation. That’s one of the reasons we are called to fast – so we can learn to satisfy our deepest belonging needs in relationship with the Lord. In truth, meaning and fulfillment are found only in relationship with Him.
“As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, O God. My soul thirsts for God, for the living God.”
— Psalm 42:1-2
Lord Jesus, give me the strength to fast, the strength to satisfy my deepest belonging needs in relationship with You and You alone. In Your holy name I pray. Amen.
