Happy New Year! It's a new year and what better way to start the year off than Prayer & Fasting. Prayer and Fasting allows you to draw
closer to God and disconnect from the world. When you Pray & Fast,
you are able to cut down the noise and distractions of the world and
hear the voice of God more clearly. It's a time to clean out all the
junk inside (spiritually & physically).
You can start preparing now by seeking God about what to fast and for how long. See my post Choosing what to Fast for more details. Remember, what you fast is between you and God. What you choose should
not be determined by what someone else is doing.
Also, begin thinking about what your Prayer Focus will be during the fast. Seek God and ask him to reveal any areas of weakness in your life. Forgive all who have offended you and ask forgiveness from those you may have offended (Mark 11:25; Luke 11:4; 17:3-4).
I believe that having an understanding about Prayer & Fasting and being prepared are 2 keys for success. I pray that my blog will help you during your fast. I encourage you to read through my older posts and check out the recipes. If you have any recipes you would like to share, let me know. I hope that you find this blog helpful and encouraging.
