Fasting teaches us what actually satisfies us, and it helps us distinguish between appetite and hunger. Our appetite, all it wants is pleasure. Our hunger, it wants life. And God, he is the giver of life. And when our desires are reordered, our decisions follow. We begin to crave holiness more than our habits. We begin to crave peace more than what brings us pleasure, and we begin to crave God more than what gratifies our flesh.
