Fasting and Bold Prayer
Posted by vicki on Apr 15, 2011 in Fasting stuff |
Prayer is reaching out and after the unseen; fasting, letting go of all that is
seen and temporal. Fasting helps express, deepens, confirms the
resolution that we are ready to sacrifice anything, even ourselves, to attain
what we seek for the kingdom of God, -Andrew Murray
One of the things the Awake21.org folks mention in their devotional is the importance of bold prayer.
One of the things I’ve noticed in this fasting time, is my hesitancy toward bold prayer.
One of the things fasting does is help us sacrifice things. First some food we love, then perhaps- some hang-up we are deeply attached to.
I am asking God to help me sacrifice- discard- reject- my timid prayer life.
What is He showing you?
