As I enter into the last week of fasting for you, I have to
admit that this weekend was hard. It was
a constant rebellion with food and my body.
I am so delighted to have changed the way we have eaten, to have given
up desires for you…but my
mind is rebelling. It keeps telling me
about the things I am missing. So, there
has been a struggle here that I did not expect.
Regardless, I am leaning on You…focusing
on You…and
praying to You knowing that You will bring me through this easily. I keep reminding myself that if it weren’t
hard- it wouldn’t be worth doing. I am
enjoying this struggle while I lean on You to carry me. I have learned (once again) that laying my
burdens down at Your feet makes me feel so complete. I am so thankful that You know me…know my name…and that you sent Your
perfect son to wipe away my sins so that I could have a direct line to You- to
speak to You, listen to You, and praise You every day.
Keep me strong this
week, God. I need You. Use this week to cleanse me from the inside
out…begin
a fresh start in me where you make a Genesis week out of the chaos of my life. Unbutton my lips so that I can sing your praises
every day for the rest of my life! I
love you with everything I am.
