Day 12 fasting from distraction

Day 12 of our 40-Day Devotion! 

Today, we’re talking about something beyond just giving up food—fasting as a way to remove distractions and fully depend on God.

Fasting isn’t about deprivation; it’s about transformation. 

Matthew 6:16-18 "And when you fast, don't make it obvious, as the hypocrites do, for they try to look miserable and disheveled so people will admire them for their fasting. I tell you the truth, that is the only reward they will ever get. But when you fast, comb your hair and wash your face. Then no one will notice that you are fasting, except your Father, who knows what you do in private. And your Father, who sees everything, will reward you."
