prayer and fasting...how are you on this?

Tweet

Prayer is a usual thing and idea for all christians for countless reasons. We pray because we are thankful, we pray because we are desiring for something, we pray for things, for family, for our own and a lot more things. Let us just say that it is a countless list of things that starts with Lord... But what about fasting? We hear this word a lot but the question if we practicing this is a toughy. I myself always think that prayer is enough for bible says that prayer can move mountain so why there is a need for me to starve myself or go on fasting. Though there are many stories in the bible that promotes fasting like King Josaphat's victory over Moabites and Ezra's victory in his own battle. Prayer and fasting works best together, that is how I see it. Fasting reinforce the message you have in prayer and it also give emphasis on how sincere we are and how we want to have prayer to be answered. Just yesterday I decided to go on 5 days fasting from 8am to 8pm to pray for church revival and some personal prayers that I have in my heart. This is my frist time doing this and even though I just started the fasting yesterday I feel spiritually strong and closer to my God. Hope that for those who will read and response may this blog be an enlightenment. God bless everyone.
