Today I accepted the offer of Pastor Steve Ferguson to join in a corporate act of fasting. Family Worship Center, the church that I have been attending, is participating in a 21 day fast. After praying and doing some research, I have discovered that the Bible had a lot to say about fasting.
So tonight, I will go to bed hungry. Praying that this experience will guide me closer to my savior. I want to share my experience with you, mostly to give myself time to reflect, but also to encourage you. Maybe I will learn something that will inspire you, change you, as well as change me. I am going into this time expecting and believing that I will leave this experience different than when I began. I believe that God desires for us to pray and fast and seek him, and so that is what I am going to do.
So, now I will go to bed hungry. Reminding myself that God is the thing I should seek and desire, not food.
I'll be praying that God will sustain you and bring you strength through this experience.
