We know that fasting from Television, Netflix, and social media altogether isn't realistic. Much like cotton, they've become
the fabric of our lives.
Why? Replacing 30 minutes of mindless scrolling with 30 minutes of quiet prayer or scripture reading can bring about positive change. Instead of hearing from the latest social media influencer, we get the privilege of hearing from
the influencer...Jesus himself.
What to expect? We stand to gain so much more wisdom and understanding in 30 minutes of time with Jesus than we could ever gain in a lifetime of staring at a phone or computer screen. Inviting the Holy Spirit to dwell within will help quiet the distractions that seem to get louder when we try and pray.
