Fasting is not just a spiritual discipline—it is an emotional and psychological reset. Over the last 10 days, we have denied ourselves certain comforts, realigned our focus, and invited God to move in ways we may not have fully understood at the time. Spiritually, we have been strengthened. Emotionally, we have learned endurance. Physiologically, our bodies have adapted to new rhythms of nourishment.
