Fasting is a path to peace and happiness. That’s right: fasting, the practice of abstaining from food or drink for meals, days, and even weeks at a time, is one of the most powerful ways we have of becoming closer to God and finding true joy. Self-denial leads to a greater sense of wholeness. That’s why Christians have fasted for thousands of years, and it’s why Lent, the 6-week period between Ash Wednesday and Easter, is a time of serious fasting.
Today’s challenge – Give up something you really like. (chocolate, crisps, biscuits, coffee.)
Remember to comment below and let us know how you get on.

How did you get on Ciara?
Erin has given up most sweet treats for lent already, but has also decided have no snacks at all today apart from meals. Emily has given up Chocolate biscuits for the day and Emily loves her biscuits especially straight after school with a glass of milk.
Brilliant, Erin. Did you manage?
That’s a good one Emily. 🙂
