At some point in our lives, we all find ourselves in a boat in the middle of a lake. We might be there due to a job loss or the death of a loved one.

"He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30). This is the essence of Biblical fasting; decrease and increase.

This 21-day devotional journey is written by various people, just like you, from Cornwall Church.
