Matthew 9:12-13
Hosea 9:16-20
Mark 5:25-26
John 17:17-19 NLT
"Fasting must forever center on God. More than any other discipline, fasting reveals the things that control us." - Richard Foster, Celebration of Discipline
"The greatest enemy of hunger for God is not poison but apple pie. It is not the banquet of the wicked that dulls our appetite for heaven, but endless nibbling at the table of the world …If you don't feel strong desires for the manifestation of the glory of God, it is not because you have drunk deeply and are satisfied. It is because you have nibbled so long at the table of the world. Your soul is stuffed with small things, and there is no room for the great." - John Piper, A Hunger for God: Desiring God Through Fasting And Prayer
