Be gracious to me Lord, for I call to You all day long. Psalm 86:3
During a sun up to sun down fasting day, I am focused on calling on God all day long. I am in physical hunger from lack of food, asking God to turn that hunger into a stronger hunger for Him. I am aware of His graciousness to respond, to listen, and to love me through this journey.
The sun goes down, and there is now an opportunity to fill my stomach with the food I missed during the day. Instead of gobbling down a full day’s calories, I have been concentrating on eating a lighter snack. I cannot say that this always happens, but this is a path of growth I want to see. I need to continue calling on Him all night long, even though I am no longer fasting, until the time that He takes me into His sweet slumber.
Sweet Lord, give me the grace of Your continued presence all night long. Amen.
happy hunger
