February Fast - 21 Days Of Seeking HimChikamu

Say No to Say Yes.

We cannot always, through our own power and ability, do what is right. Sometimes we find it hard or even impossible to forgive, to leave a dark experience behind or to not let negative thoughts rule our mind. We try, fight and stretch ourselves to the maximum but fail over and over again. So frustrating, isn’t it?! What’s the answer? Yes, you got it: fasting!

Fasting is refraining from food for a spiritual reason. When we fast from something we need, we turn our attention towards God in a special way.  The result is that God releases His power in our lives in a fresh and powerful way, and we receive strength to say yes! Yes to His word, will, plans and ways for our lives as individuals and as a church. As part of this fast, let’s decide to say no to food and seek Him with all our hearts, so we can be able to say YES!

Father, today I say no to food because I hunger for you. I open up my heart and receive your power to say yes to what pleases you. In Jesus’ name, amen.
