Day 6: God Delights in Renewal

You cannot enjoy the fullness of life in Christ when you are still a slave, bound by addictions.  Sexual and chemical additions like alcohol and drugs, nicotine, overeating, antidepressants, insomnia, and so on can be broken through the discipline of fasting.  If there are addictions in your life, list them below and ask God to give you grace during this fast to walk away free of those chains!  Perhaps there is a family member or loved one suffering with addiction.  Write down his or her name to target for prayer during this time.
 
So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed.  – John 8:36 NIV

How is experiencing fasting as a private discipline bringing you closer to God?
