Fast
In a world of instant gratification, fasting is an invitation to enter into intentional discomfort – to say no to some urge in order to make space for God to speak to us in the waiting. Fasting doesn’t have to be about food. It’s about taking a step back from something you consume so that you can make space to practice intentional dependence on God. Especially in America, where we often live in a culture of so much surplus that we never have to experience discomfort, fasting is an active choice to disengage from the things we use to numb our discomfort. It’s a practice that helps us cultivate the habit of taking a step back and creating space for God to move.
