Fasting - by Dick Hilleary

Doug and I have asked our church to fast and pray during the period leading up to Easter.  As we have stated before, the "how" of fasting is not the important issue... but the "fast of fasting.  Do we spend more time in prayer than eating, for instance.  During a recent bible study, offered some fasting suggestions.  Here are just a few:  


Fast from Criticism
and Feast on Praise.
Fast from Self-Pity
and Feast on Joy.
Fast from ill-temper
and Feast on Peace.
Fast from Resentment
and Feast on Contentment.
Fast from Jealousy
and Feast on Love.
Fast from Pride
and Feast on Humility.
Fast from selfishness
and Feast on Service.
Fast from Fear
and Feast on Faith.
