Theme: Fasting

Fasting and worship have always belonged together. When the body is quieted from its appetites, the spirit can hear more clearly. Songs about fasting speak to the discipline of laying something down in order to press in, of creating space through absence, of saying with the whole person: 'I want You more than I want this.' They are not popular songs, but they are powerful ones — songs for the serious seeker who wants more of God than comfort alone can provide.
