Thanks for this, Matt! The point about fasting clearing the mind for prayer is quite interesting, as more research is emerging about the effects of fasting on mental clarity. I recently listened to a podcast episode from the folks at OptimalWork on this topic (link below). And apparently Roman soldiers would even fast all day when they marching to keep them light and clear headed. Grace builds on nature!

I read this without the comma and had to do a double take.

Thanks Matt for this helpful and concise post! Oddly, I’m now sitting in a CVS, staring at the candy section… and not phased. 🤠
