Fasting

Dear Friends,
I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas!
I was planning on writing a 'Christmas Blog,' but instead I would like to share something that is going to impact my next couple days:
Over the past few weeks, my sunday school class has been studying prayer and fasting. Through these study's and my own prayer time with God, God has really encouraged me to fast. So, for the next three days (Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday) I am going to be fasting. I am not telling you this to brag, for fasting is not a sign of my commitment or holiness, but rather, at least in this case, I am fasting because my relationship with God is struggling. There are too many things that I do not trust God with, and too many times that I push him away. So, I will not eat food (I will be drinking water and juice), I will not drink my coffee, I will not watch movies, I will not play on facebook, but I will spend much time praying, reading the Word, listening to sermons, and begging God to let me come closer to him.
So, friends, please pray with and for me. Pray that God will humble me before him. Pray that he will show me my sins. Pray for genuine repentance. Pray that I will constantly be focused on God. And pray that come Thursday evening my relationship with God will be stronger then it's ever been.
Thank you,
Hannah.
