Fasting has a way of bringing to the surface sins that lie deep within our hearts. As Richard Foster says, “More than any other Discipline, fasting reveals the things that control us.…We cover up what is inside us with food and other good things, but in fasting these things surface.” A variety of things might surface for you as you continue to fast. When the desires of the flesh are not met, they tend to assert themselves more strongly. When we fast, we can more easily identify the works of the flesh in our own lives and repent of them. We can cry out to God like the psalmist and say, “Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Ps. 51:10). The good news is that God hears those prayers and answers them.
Reflection:
Fasting clarifies what you really need and what you’ve grown accustomed to wanting.
Throughout this time of fasting, has the Lord given you clarity on what you need in this next season?

關於此計劃
This 21-day fasting and prayer guide will look first at the example of Jesus’ fasting and temptation in the wilderness. Then we will draw out important biblical teachings to edify our souls as we fast from food and feast on God. The goal is to experience what it means to live not by bread alone, but by every word that proceeds from the mouth of God (Matt. 4:4).
