There isn’t just one reason to fast. The Bible is full of situations where fasting takes place for personal, family and national reasons. And God probably doesn’t care what our reason is, just that we set aside special time to fast and be with Him. But intentionality will keep our focus strong! Here are a few questions to ask yourself and help you determine why joining this 30 day fast right now might be a good thing for you to do. If you previously answered these questions, review your answers and ask God to refine your responses.
How do I want to change up the way I hunger for God, for a short time? Maybe your quiet time with Him is getting stale and is without clear direction. Maybe lately you are just going through the motions.
What special aspect or new area of growth do I want to focus on in my walk with God? You might really want to see God’s change in a certain way this year and desire to focus on it.
What extraordinary prayer request do I want to lift up to God with more fervor? You might have a really tough situation in your life, a strong desire for God to do something specific or weigh in on a big decision you need to make.
What bad habit or unhealthy focus do I want to see God’s control over? There could be something in your life that you are finding you idolize more than God and want to see that turned on its head.
Choose one focus for your 30 Day Fast and be prepared to be amazed by Him!
Why do You want me to fast this month, Lord? Help me narrow down all the things I need and see more clearly. Give me Your supernatural focus to complete this fast and experience more strongly the way Your plan for my growth and my life unfolds. Amen.
