Eight days...that is exactly the amount of time that I have been fasting and praying. It has been a tough eight day. Mostly, I have wanted to run for the fridge and give up. If it were up to me, I would have quit by now, but I am not alone. These last couple of days I have been constantly reminded that "I can do all things through Christ." It is not "I" who can complete this fast;I can only do it through him. Although this is a small truth for some, for me it is one that I often forget. So often I try to do thing by my own might. I think: "I can do this." But to the contrary! I can do nothing, absolutely nothing without him. I have a while to go, for my goal is to spend forty days fasting. This will be the longest juice fast I have ever done. I know God is able. I know that he will give me the strength as I sit at his feet. I want him to speak. I want to hear from him. Thank you Father for everything that you have brought to my attention. Less of me and more of you is what I need.
His.
