    How to find privacy and time for full-time fasting and praying for several days?

    Just a very simple and practical question: I want to have a personal encounter with God, which you can read more about in my other thread. Therefore, I want to set aside several days, say 3 or 4, for full-time fasting (only water allowed), praying, reading the Bible, reading Christian books and...

    Hi. New to this forum. I just want to share with others my desire to have a personal encounter with God.
