When we choose to look to our source rather than to our situation, we realise that He is in control and not us. Fasting helps us turn away from the things that usually have our attention in order to seek God. We are not trying to force ourselves to not worry; we are fixing our eyes on our heavenly Father.

Busy, busy, busy. Life can be busy. Whether you are a student, a business person, in ministry, or a stay-at-home parent, we can all relate to busy. But are we too busy for God? What do our actions say?

During this time of fasting, we create more time to spend in prayer and reflection. Prayer connects us to God and requires times of solitude and the meditation of scripture. Brandon & Cornieta share through God’s word and personal experiences how we can practice biblical meditation.
