Today’s challenge for the believer: 

Today’s challenge is to begin a 40 day fast. this fast can be giving up anything. It should be something that is important to you and occupies a chunk of your time each day. It could be television, social media, junk food, soda, whatever is occupying a big part of your life You do not have to give it up completely, you just need to give a section of it up. For example I am giving up television for the next 40 days. However I’m not giving up television completely. I am just giving up a significant amount and saying that I will only watch an hour and a half each day. For me although it is that the minute I often watch three hours or more of television each day. that means the time that I was spending watching television is now meant to be dedicated to God. It is is sensual that you replace the thing that you’re fasting with time with God. If you do not do this then it is worthless to give up whatever you are giving up. The whole idea is the field that chunk of time with prayer and one on one God time. 

Comment below and share your experience with this challenge 🙂 as I said I will be giving up television and I would love to hear about what you are giving up and be an accountability partner for you.
