Prayer and Fasting

Wow… it’s been a while since I blogged. I’m amazed at how busy life gets once kids are out of school and summer kicks in.

I’ve been interested in the topic of prayer lately and how fasting works with it. As far back as I can remember, I’ve never fasted in conjunction with prayer. Yesterday I did.

I have a lofty prayer request that I believe aligns with God’s will but I wanted special attention on it… and therefore I fasted. Funny, though. The minute I woke up knowing that I would be going the day without food I was soooo hungry.

Every time I got a hunger pain, I prayed. Every time I thought about how hungry I was, I prayed. I was VERY aware of my request for God as it was constantly on my mind.

Today, I saw a step towards that request being answered. I love God….
