Fast Night 1: Evening Prayer

I humbled my soul with fasting, and prayer was constantly on my mind. Psalms 35: 13

Dearest Father,

For this first day of fasting, I come to you with humility and confession. I thought about food more than You. Even though I have fasted many times, I know it is hard to convert my hunger for food (or whatever You have led me to abstain from) into hunger for You. I petition You to once again accustom my thoughts towards You alone when I am hungry and feel lack. I need You to provide Your food for my bodily needs, as You have always done. I am full of thanksgiving, because I know You will answer this prayer above and beyond what I can now imagine. I reach out in praise because You are the Lord of the universe and I humbly seat You on the throne of my life as the Lord of me. Your overwhelming love and peace is all I need to continue to reach out to You alone. I am all Yours,

Amanda
