The 40-Day Sugar Fast: Where Physical Detox Meets Spiritual Transformation (A Daily Devotional Journey to Stop Fixating on Food and Fix Your Eyes on Jesus)

by Wendy Speake

Lord, help me to hunger and thirst for Your righteousness more than anything else.

“Fasting is abstaining from anything that hinders prayer.”

God has the power to turn our hollow places into a hallowed place.

the quickest way to recognize an idol in your life is to notice your response when it is taken away.

Is your belly constantly full of sugar-free foods, or is it clanging like a church bell, calling you to prayer?

Don’t be afraid to get hungry; be afraid of a life that never hungers for God.

Our strongest testimony as Christ followers in the world is how we love the world.

Trust God to take care of you as you make yourself available to care for others.

Fasting is going without that which you thought you needed in order to experience the power and presence of the One you need most of all.

“Are the things you are living for worth Christ dying for?”

However, if your faith gets hot—really hot—then the impurities in your life are going to rise to the surface.

Walls are going to fall either way, but which walls and by whose hands they come down is entirely up to me.

Choices I made over time turned into habits that turned into strongholds.

Continue living each day with Him and you will live differently.
