Take time in your life to pray and fast. These periods are times in which we can learn to be more close to God and to please His heart through our prayers.
Luke 22:45-62 tells of the lives of those who back away from prayer. What they experienced when they started not to pray?
1. They lost the vision
2. They had the wrong assessment
3. They followed Jesus from a distance
4. They sat with people who like to gossip
5. They denied Jesus
6. They experienced a prolonged depression
Fasting and prayer are not a measure of how high our spirituality, but a measure of how low we are before God. By fasting and praying, we not only have time to contemplate, but we also can resist the evil. God wants us to learn to follow the fast and pray because Matthew 17:21 says there are things in our lives that can only be fought by fasting and praying. These things can be the illness or the bonds in our lives. Together let us use this time he has given to please Him. Take the time to follow the fast and pray, and experience renewal in your life.
