"Fasting is supposed to make you free—but doesn’t skipping meals just make you hangry and trapped by your cravings?"

"Fasting is supposed to make you free—but doesn’t skipping meals just make you hangry and trapped by your cravings?"The Bible, however, flips this logic in Matthew 6:16: "When you fast, do not look somber as the hypocrites do, for they disfigure their faces to show others they are fasting. Truly I tell you, they have received their reward in full."This verse teaches us that fasting isn’t about suffering or showing off; it’s about quietly connecting with God, letting go of worldly things, and finding spiritual freedom in humility and trust.Start your day with a thought-provoking paradox!
