Fasting advances our spiritual life, and Scripture encourages its practice. These times of physical denial help us grow spiritually and give us the opportunity to feel the loving embrace of Jesus.

As you walk through this forty-day devotional, you will:

• experience the love of God daily,

• learn to tune out distractions in order to focus on his voice,

• encounter a profound sense of his presence,

• cultivate a tangible relationship with him, and

• receive fresh insight from heaven.
