I would recommend going through Hebrews 12. One verse per day and reflecting on it. This has been very helpful for me. Let me know how it's going. Jeff Christina – 40 days is impressive.

I have a few other people doing it with me, and a lot of people in my small group are fasting from something as well. None of us have really done a legitimate fast before though. Do you have any suggestions (daily devotions or anything you recommend reading throughout this time)? Thanks! Hi Jeff,

Food isn't as good of an option for us, so we've decided to fast from spending money on anything other than food and gas. We actually started a few days back and have already been confronted with a number of things we "can't" buy/do - which is good! God is answering our prayers b/c we asked him to bring our desires for things front and center and use this time to learn more about finding value in him and to expose the extent we currently look to consumption to fulfill that appetite. We're glad to share in this with everyone. My wife and I are joining in too. Food isn’t as good of an option for us, so we’ve decided to fast from spending money on anything other than food and gas.
