PRAYER AND FASTING

Prayer linked with fasting was often done by people in the Bible. Ezra 8:23 reports: “So we fasted and earnestly prayed that our God would take care of us, and he heard our prayer.” The next time you are asked to pray urgently for someone in difficulty, consider combining your praying with some fasting. We are in the season of Lent celebrated from Ash Wednesday till Easter, so we still have to do some praying and fasting.

Lord,  let everything we do today and in this season of Lent come from You, be inspired by You. We long to be closer to You, so strengthen our relationship through our time of prayer and fasting. Father, let us remember that nothing is important in our lives unless it glorifies and honor You. Lord, it's so easy to get caught up in the day to day struggles and fall short in our prayer life, please order our steps in Your will, when we become lost. Father, thank You for helping us understand that perfection is not what we do in life, but how we live our lives for You, in Jesus name Amen
