Endurance in Fasting: Pressing Into God

📖 Introduction

Fasting is more than a physical discipline; it is a spiritual journey of seeking God wholeheartedly. When we fast, our bodies often resist – hunger pangs, fatigue, or distractions try to pull us away from our purpose. But endurance in fasting means pressing into God beyond physical weakness, trusting Him to sustain and strengthen us.

Throughout the Bible, fasting is coupled with perseverance and faith. It was a way God’s people drew near to Him especially in times of trial, decision-making, and spiritual breakthrough. Endurance is the key to unlocking the deeper intimacy and power God desires to reveal during this time.

This 5-day study invites you to consider how to cultivate endurance when fasting – recognizing God’s sustaining presence and grace amid the body’s cries for relief. You'll reflect on Scripture passages where perseverance in fasting led to greater spiritual clarity and victory. You will also be encouraged to lean into the Holy Spirit’s strength and wisdom to press on when your body says stop.

Embrace this time as an opportunity to not just deny yourself food but to feast on God's promises. Through this endurance, you will find renewal, guidance, and a heart more attuned to His voice. Let God teach you to persevere, even when it’s hard, because He is your source. 🙏
