Fasting is a great tool to putting you in charge. When we don’t eat, we are sending a message to our body that it is not the boss of us. Your body has lots of different desires, but you need to show it whose in charge. Your mind as well likes to think about things it just shouldn’t be thinking about. Once again, you must remember that you are in charge, and you can tell your mind what to think. Sometimes your emotions might tell you your in a bad mood, and that just makes everyone around miserable. But remember, you’re the boss. Tell your emotions to be submitted to God’s word. This is learning how to lead yourself. After Jesus fasted he was tempted. But Jesus was prepared, and he didn’t listen to the devil. Instead, he quoted the word.
