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 Night 5: Rewarding

Fast so that your fasting will not be noticed by others but only by your Father who is unseen. Your Father, who sees you in private, will reward you.” Matthew 6: 16-17

When I started this blog, this was an area of great concern for me. I have needed God’s encouragement and wisdom to present fasting with humility, on this blog and in conversations with others. It took many years of private fasting to confirm to me that God has been asking me to speak out about my own experiences, plans, and struggles for the growth of His other children. If sharing assures others that this is a valuable and powerful spiritual exercise to be drawn into a deeper intimacy with God in a way that some of the other spiritual disciplines may not, it is a distinct calling from Him. This is my reward. I will be obedient. I will continue to fast and learn. I will open my mouth to help others.

So may you share your experiences with God through fasting with others!
