So I was laying in bed last night pondering the question that people have asked me, and that is "why are you fasting?" I replied that I didn't know....well after thinking it over last night I decided that I am doing this fast because for far to long (about four months) I have not felt the presence of God, it is almost as if I am slipping away, like I have lost my grip on his arm and slowly sinking into the pits of quicksand. I want to be closer to God, I have been sitting here comfortable for far to long, I want a real non deniable sence of the power and presence of my Lord Jesus Christ.
I am unsure on how to go about this, but I believe that sometime in these twenty one days I will know. So until then I am going to pray and fast and read his word. Which is another thing that I have been sadly lacking(getting into his word).
"Jesus, I thank you for the strength to do this fast, I ask that you reviel your self to me like you have never done before. I ask for a real visitation from you, open my eyes to see and my ears to hear, let me see each and every one that I meet like you see them. Give me a true heart after yours, guide me back onto your path of righteouseness. Bless my family and friends during this time and beyond. I ask this in your precious name....amen."
