Day 31

Day 32

8 days to go!  This may have been the best 3 days of a week I have had on the fast.  In addition to loosing more weight, I have had very few hunger pains or cravings.  The stumbles have been few. 

In the devotion this morning, it talked about trusting in God.  There have been many days during this fast, when I have been weak and relied on my and failed. When I have been weak and relied on God, I have succeeded.  What does that tell me?  Quite relying on me and rely on God.  Simple huh! Why is it so hard to take everything to the Lord in prayer?  Why can’t I just take everything I want to do through God?  Sometime I feel like I am not moving because I am waiting on God.  If I would just take my actions through God I would be working for Him until He directs me in a different direction.  If I work through God, He will remove the obstacles before me. 

With 8 days left, I look where I was and where I am.  I am closer to God than I have been in a long time. I am making an effort to thank God for all of the little blessing He gives every day. I am making an effort to spend time with God everyday.  I want to have a relationship with God. I want to walk with Him daily. The best way to know Gods will is to be close to Him in walk and in talk.

A gentleman told me that a fast should be in private. That is probably true, but I have had more success this time on a longer fast because I know people are looking.  I want my actions to serve the Lord, and if having a public fast is a way, then that is what I will do.
