Not By Bread Alone: Forty Daily Devotionals On Fasting And Prayer

And he humbled you and let you hunger
and fed you with manna, which you did not know,
nor did your fathers know,
that he might make you know
that man does not live by bread alone,
but man lives by every word that comes
from the mouth of the LORD
(Deuteronomy 8:3)

“A . . . more weighty reason for fasting is that it is an help to prayer; particularly when we set apart large portions of time for private prayer. Then especially it is that God is often pleased to lift up the souls of his servants above all the things of earth, and sometimes to rapt them up, as it were, into the third heaven.” – John Wesley
