A different Approach to Fasting

We have a tendency to make our fasting oriented towards things like giving up food or television. But there are many other creative ways we can welcome Jesus’ healing touch. Here are some ways you may want to consider:

-- Fast from Anger and hatred

Give your family and extra dose of love each day.

-- Fast from judging others

before making any judgments, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults.

-- Fast from discouragement

Hold on to Jesus promise that he has a perfect plan for your life.

-- Fast from complaining

When you find yourself about to complain, close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has given you.

-- Fast from resentment and bitterness

Work on forgiving those who may have hurt you.

-- Fast from spending too much money

Try to reduce your spending by 10 per cent and give those savings to the poor.
