Holy Habits: Fasting From Distraction to Refocus on God | Daily Devotional

from Anchored in the Word with Lauren A. Konate · host Lauren A. Konate

Today we’re focusing on fasting — not as punishment or performance, but as a way to create intentional space for God and sharpen our spiritual focus.In this devotional, we walk through Matthew 6:16–18, Joel 2:12, and James 4:8 and discuss how fasting helps reveal what we instinctively run to and how replacing distraction with prayer and scripture can deepen our awareness of God’s presence.We also reflect on practical forms of fasting beyond food, including social media, noise, and unhealthy habits that may be crowding our attention.Scripture references:📖 Matthew 6:17–18📖 Joel 2:12📖 James 4:8Today’s reflection question: What have I been turning to more than God lately?Stay grounded. Stay encouraged. Stay Anchored in the Word. ⚓️
