Fasting, rather than fleshly efforts, should be one of our first defenses against “persecution” from family, schoolmates, neighbors, or coworkers because of our faith. Typically we’re tempted to strike back with anger, verbal abuse, counteraccusations, or even legal action. But instead of political maneuvering, gossiping, and imitating the worldly tactics of our enemies, we should appeal to God with fasting for protection and deliverance.

After Surgery

A man who had just undergone a very complicated operation kept complaining
about a bump on his head and a terrible headache. Since his operation had
been an intestinal one, there was no earthly reason why he should be
complaining of a headache.

Finally his nurse, fearing that the man might be suffering from some
post-operative shock, spoke to the doctor about it.

The doctor assured the nurse, "Don't worry about a thing. He really does
have a bump on his head. About halfway through the operation we ran out of
anesthetic."
