God offers himself to us when we are in need, (Matthew 11:28). In his word, he tells us that we can seek him in humility and prayer when we have a need, a desire for change, are struggling, or just want to commune deeply with him. (Psalm 34:4). He also calls us to join together as Christians to pray with and for each other, as a way of offering encouragement and support. (1 Thes 5:11) He also calls us to take a serious approach to praying by fasting. This is a period of time in which you abstain from eating to focus on seeking the Lord in prayer. You can learn more by checking out this GREAT article on prayer and fasting.
So ladies, let’s do it. Let’s lift each other up in prayer and meet with intention. I’m asking you to join me each month this summer in a day long fast, one Wednesday a month, in which we surrender food and nourishment devoting that time and our temporary discomfort to seeking the Lord in prayer. This will be a great way to deepen our faith, to focus on our Savior, and a way to unite the women of Restored by caring for each other and in a way, suffering (albeit only in hunger) together.
