Fasting + Expression

Fasting may not be your typical way of connecting with God but we can connect with Him in so many ways.

Connecting with God through expression is getting close to Him while you are creating--whether it is through writing, painting, playing an instrument, filming, dancing, or any other creative expression! As you fast, ask God for creative solutions to the things He has put on your heart. Creativity does not just have to be art; it can be creative solutions to bring Heaven to earth. Journal with the Lord what He is speaking to you about as you fast. By drawing or writing, you may encounter God in new ways. Seek the Lord’s heart for what to create in your time of fasting. Let your expression be a sacrifice and work unto the Lord. As you fast and suppress your own desires, spend time in the Lord’s presence, magnifying His Spirit and allowing Him to be woven into your creative expression. Be willing to fast a certain creative expression or explore a new creative outlet as He leads. Remember, you are not your expression. You belong to the Lord!

Prayer: Father, thank you for the ability to create and express myself and You. You modeled creation and expression for us. Show me how to use the creative expression You gave me to honor You. Give me creative solutions and ideas to bring Heaven to earth! Speak to me through expression today. I want to use everything You have given me to please You. My expressions will never be mine, but they will always be Yours!
