Fasting & Praying GuideSample

Fasting will drain you physically, and if you are not used to practicing it, you will feel its impact quickly on your body. But I have found that fasting reveals God’s counterintuitive, countercultural, and even counter-natural economy where He accomplishes more with your less. As Paul says in 2 Corinthians 12:10, “When I am weak, then I am strong.” Only this strength can prevail for us in our battle against the enemy and his servants.

Reflection:

God does more with my less.

The following happened during the first week of my last fast:

•A hiring challenge I had strived all year to solve was resolved.

•A challenging strategy suddenly came to me in full bloom when I woke up.

•A meeting I had tried arranging came together ‘impromptu’ without any effort on my part.

We don’t fast for results; we fast for presence and dependence. But in my years of fasting, I’ve seen that presence and dependence produce outcomes that I never could.

What answers, revelations, and gifts has God already given you during your fast so far?
