A Different Approach to Fasting

1. Fast from anger and hatred - Give your family and friends an extra dose of love each day

2. Fast from judging others - Before making any judgments, recall how Jesus overlooks our faults.

3. Fast from discouragement - Hold on to Jesus' promise that He has a perfect plan for your life.

4. Fast from complaining - When you find yourself about to complain, close your eyes and recall some of the little moments of joy Jesus has given you.

5. Fast from resentment or bitterness - Work on forgiving those who may have hurt you.

6. Fast from spending too much money - Try to reduce your spending by ten percent and give those savings to the poor.
