2009: Year of Prayer & Fasting
Fasting Hints
(taken from the Baptist & Reflector, January 14, 2009)
- Seek your physician for guidance.
- Commit to one day at a time. Be sure to make your "yea" a yea.
- For beginners, start small. One meal, then two meals, and so on.
- Remember why you are praying and fasting, but don't be afraid to use the fast to pray for other needs that God leads you to during the fast.
- Stay with your normal Scripture reading. Do not change your readings to fit your search.
- Remember only tell those who need to know.
- Keep a journal of what God does and says during the fast.
- Be sensitive to God's Spirit as you fast, pray expectantly, and anticipate God to do more than you know to ask for from Him (Jeremiah 33:3).
