How to Starve to Life

1) Stomach rumbles can be covered up by worshiping louder

2) That empty feeling in your gut gets filled up by The Word

3) ‎Slight stomach cramps are easily remedied by deep prayer

4) ‎Those cravings you get for popcorn or literally any food throughout the day you direct toward something you don’t normally crave like actually deep thinking. Facing it.

5) ‎Distract yourself with other things when it gets hard. Like spend 2 hours studying the book of Ester and then 2 more hours playing soccer with the street kids and getting more bruises then you can count, but it’s worth it. Trust me.

6) ‎When the hunger wakes you up in the middle of the night and tells your brain to remember every moment in time you suffered that is when you hang onto God harder than you ever have. Believe that He is your all and the only way you can overcome this is in His strength. Because that is when He holds you the tightest. In the emptiness, He overflows. In the pain, He heals. In the need, He fulfills.

7) ‎When food finally does come you will realize that it doesn’t and never will satisfy as much as does the Bread of Life.
