Hello friends! So, the Lord has laid an idea on my heart. Okay, more like He threw it at my face to get my attention.
Lately, I have been learning more on fasting. In the past, I have never fasted because I have bad blood sugar problems. My blood sugar gets low and I feel really sick and dizzy. However, the Lord has challenged me to deepen my prayer life and start to fast. I realized that I was holding myself back, not fasting because of my blood sugar problems. I mean I'm PRETTY SURE that the Lord will sustain me and help me not to pass out while I am in prayer to Him.
Anyways, I have decided to fast one day per week. Initially, it was just going to be me, however, I feel that the Lord wants me to challenge you all to join me in this. It will bring us even further together as a team in prayer. Now, I am not saying that you HAVE to do this! 🙂 Pray about it and if you feel God urging you to join me, then yay and welcome!
I didn't really know if I wanted to put another challenge on y'all and was praying about it. haha! WELL, I was in class, not paying attention (but acting like it), praying about what the Lord wanted me to do, and my teacher got really loud so I looked up and listened and he looked right at me, pointed, and yelled FASTING!! haha! Now, we were talking about geography of religion and he only talked about fasting in the Christian faith for a second. However, I was sold! The Lord didn't have to make it ANY clearer! 🙂
So, yep! I hope that you all are having a wonderful Monday!
Love you guys,
Samantha Lou
P.S. I believe that I am going to be fasting on Tuesdays. At first I wanted to choose a day where I do not have a lot of stuff to do, which are Thursdays, but where is the challenge in that! So, Tuesday it is!
P.S.S. Matthew 6:16-18 is about fasting.
