Day Five - Fasting and Prayer

ON YOUR FIFTH DAY OF FASTING, REMEMBER: 

• Write every day as you journal what God is showing you. 

• Concentrate on your own personal prayer time and prayer place. 

• Headaches and cravings will be fewer as you adjust to the fast. 

• You may have bad breath as your body detoxifies.  

THOUGHTS FOR YOUR JOURNAL: 

• Why do you think fasting is important in order to achieve your greatest breakthrough? 

• Jesus fasted, and He intimately related to His Father in heaven. How has this fast, so far, helped you to relate to your heavenly Father? 

PRAYER FOCUS DAY 5: HEALTH AND HEALING 

"Dear friend, I pray that you may enjoy good health and that all may go well with you, even as your soul is getting along well."  3 John 1:2 

God not only supplies our needs according to His riches in glory, but He brings healing and well-being.  God not only gives strength to our physical bodies, but He provides our emotional and spiritual health also.  As you continue to deny yourself in fasting, be reminded that there is one who truly delivers all that you need.  Food gives strength and is a necessary gift from God, but fasting helps us remember the greatest gift ever given.  Jesus died that we may live and not only live, but live life to the fullest.  May you receive God’s love and healing today in the absence of the things you miss by fasting.
