30 DAY FAST, SEPTEMBER 1 – SEPTEMBER 30 (Join any time, see how to prepare below.)

Early morning posts every day: 30 days of fasting does not mean you do not eat for 30 days! A fast can be many things. Normally it is a plan to deny yourself some kind of food or something that is habitual. You want the lack of it to be noticed regularly by your body and your mind. And you want to experience a sort of hunger for it. It can be a good thing or a bad thing. A fast, by design, will turn your thoughts toward God when the moment comes that you say No. These posts will help you prepare and focus on how He will spiritually provide what you need, in the moment and beyond.

Evening posts every day: Personal posts from me that share my own daily experience of fasting, encourage tasting the sweetness of our Lord before sleep, and prepare us for an ever deeper renewal in the morning.

Fast Day 3 Drenched

Whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never be thirsty, it will become in him a fountain of water springing up to eternal life.” The woman said, “Give me this water so that I will not be thirsty.” (from John 4: 14-15)

Today was a day to fast food from sunup to sundown, but I forgot I had scheduled a lunch with a friend! I thank God that He knew my intention and His heart was full of grace in His love towards me. He arranged it perfectly. She brought only a small salad to share and our blessed conversation was the meat of our meeting together. Besides this, I drank only liquids today. I was still hungry, but the water felt like a wonderful gift from Him. It filled some of the holes in my stomach, yes, but it also reminded me of the eternal water with which He constantly drenched my spirit today.

Tonight as I lay on my bed, my main thought of Jesus will be:

Lord, drench me always with Your eternal water!
