When a Fast Becomes a Feast

When a fast becomes a feast. I’ll never forget my first experience with fasting. I had been reading my Bible and it was very clear to me that fasting was a necessary part of a victorious Christian life, but no one had ever taught me about this practice, much less modeled it for me. I had made several attempts throughout college, but they were a miserable failure I must confess.

Editor's Notes

In this Hope Issue’s editor’s notes: Sometimes it feels like I don’t have enough money, enough training, enough emotional strength, enough faith to carry out what God has called me to do. I get discouraged as a mother. I am not always the best wife, and I feel discouraged by that. I don’t consistently make my monthly income goals and that makes me question myself, His will and my purpose and cry out it is all too much for me to carry on my own.
