Acts 27:35 And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. 36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some food.
Focusing and worrying too much on problems is known to consume a lot of valuable mental energy, and if it is the case that persons refuse to eat, they can often compromise their ability to think clearly, because the brain needs food just like the rest of the body. In fact, worrying about situations that persons can do nothing about, is one of the most futile things a person can do, for it not only drains vitality, energy, desire, and drive; in the overwhelming majority of cases, it is counter-productive.
The sailors on board that doomed vessel worried, and worried, and they worried yet at the end the ship still ran aground and it was broken to pieces. At this juncture we must make a surgical intrusion into the issue of fasting for an extended period of time, when trying to resolve problems that need to be addressed. The Bible does not encourage folks to worry about things they cannot change, for doing so is hardly ever productive of good.
Matthew 6:27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature? 28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin. 31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed? 34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.
Philippians 4:6 Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God. 7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
