Dear Sibling,
Remember today, hunger comes in waves.
When we fast, the fight is against hunger and boredom.
We find entertainment and fulfillment in food.
This should not be the case.
And that is why we fast.
By withholding food to a degree, we are training ourselves to find joy in Christ alone.
So, if you are hungry, remember that hunger comes in waves and will pass.
If you’re bored, and are tempted to open the fridge, look at the Cross first.
– Ryan
