Fast from judging others; feast on the Christ dwelling in them
Fast from emphasis on the differences; feast on the unity of life
Fast from the apparent darkness; feast on the reality of light
Fast from thoughts of illness; feast on the healing power of God
Fast from the words that pollute; feast on phrases that purify
Fast from discontent; feast on gratitude
Fast from anger; feast on patience
Fast from pessimism; feast on optimism
Fast from worry; feast on divine order
Fast from complaining; feast on appreciation
Fast from negatives; feast on affirmatives
Fast from unrelenting pressures; feast on unceasing prayer
Fast from hostility; feast on non-resistance
Fast from bitterness; feast on forgiveness
Fast from self-concern; feast on compassion for others
Fast from personal anxiety; feast on eternal truth
Fast from discouragement; feast on hope
Fast from facts that depress; feast on verities that uplift
Fast from lethargy; feast in enthusiasm
Fast from thoughts that weaken; feast on promises that inspire
Fast from the shadows of sorrow; feast on the sunlight of serenity
Fast from idle gossip; feast on a purposeful silence
Fast from problems that overwhelm; feast on prayer that undergirds
---William Arthur Ward (American author, teacher, and pastor)
