On Fasting ...

Fast from judging others; Feast on Christ dwelling in them.

Fast from apparent darkness; Feast on the reality of light.

Fast from pessimism; Feast on optimism.

Fast from thoughts of illness; Feast on the healing power of God.

Fast from words that pollute; Feast on phrases that purify.

Fast from anger; Feast on prayaer.

Fast from worry; Feast on Divine Providence.

Fast from unrelenting pressure; Feast on unceasing praise.

Fast from negatives; Feast on positives.

Fast from complaining; Feast on appreciation.

Fast from hostility; Feast on prayers of peace.

Fast from bitterness; Feast on forgiveness.

Fast from anxiety; Feast on the hope of God’s provision.

Fast from yourself; Feast on a silent heart and focus a column of God’s light bathing you.
