21 Days of Prayer and Fastingਨਮੂਨਾ

NEVER ALONE
I was a student, living alone, writing a paper late at night. I kept hearing noises outside, so I looked out the window. I saw two men behaving suspiciously – but they also saw me. So I went back to my paper. Then, suddenly feeling compelled, I left the room to get ready for bed. Minutes later, I heard an explosion. A large rock had shattered my front window, leaving a gaping hole, sending glass everywhere. Had I still been writing, I would have been right in its path.
Were they still out there? Alone and frightened, I called the police and my dad (several hours away). The police came, checked the premises, taped cardboard to my window, and left. But my dad stayed on the phone with me the entire night until the darkness (and my fears) faded.
In the same way, our loving Heavenly Father doesn't leave us to face our fears alone. In Isaiah 41:10, the prophet reminds us not to fear because God is with us and promises to strengthen us, help us, and uphold us.
When faced with fear, we have a choice: feast on worry or choose a worry-fast, placing our trust in Him.

About this Plan

"He must increase, but I must decrease." (John 3:30). This is the essence of Biblical fasting; decrease and increase. Saying "no" (decrease) to something good to say "yes" (increase) to something, or Someone, better. As we deny ourselves, it is important to keep our focus on the One we are pursuing. This 21-day devotional journey is written by various people, just like you, from Cornwall Church.
