Fasting & Praying GuideSample

First John 1:5 says, “God is light; in him there is no darkness at all.” If we desire life with God, we cannot live in darkness, and the darkness cannot live in us. Many of us do a decent job avoiding the darkness externally in the sight of others. It is much harder to know and expose the darkness that hides internally. But there is good news. “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9).

May the Light of the world, the Light of life, shine in our hearts and bring healing and hope to replace the darkness that dwells within us. Amen.

Reflection:

Fasting crucifies the flesh, which enhances the Spirit. It darkens the seen and brightens the unseen.

Has the Lord called you to crucify any old habits throughout this process? How is He bringing light to the unseen in your life?
