Fast Day 20: Wisdom
The Lord is our rear guard (Isaiah 58:8)! In a battle, the rear guard protects the backs of the main force who are engaging with an enemy army. When the eyes of the main force are focused on looking ahead, the eyes of the rear guard are looking behind and to the sides. They will…

Fast Day 19: Seeking
Jesus shares a beautiful illustration of how God cares for the birds of the air and the flowers of the field in His creative world design! This is why I tell you not to worry about everyday life – whether you have enough food and drink, or enough clothes to wear. Isn’t life more than…

Fast Day 18: Generous
“Generosity changes everything.”1 If there is a poor person among you … you shall not harden your heart, nor close your hand but shall fully open your hand to him and generously lend him enough for his need in whatever he lacks. Be careful that there is no mean-spirited thought in your heart … you…

Fast Night 17: Yield
With passion I pursue and cling to You. I yield. Ps 63: 8 “Spiritual passion is a strong internal emotion that inspires devotion and dedication. It’s what makes it easier to stick to it, to follow through, and to enjoy, not just endure.” These words from my own morning blog speak to me this evening,…

Fast Day 17: Clinging
A child clings to its parent because it cannot imagine life without one. The parent is the source of food, love, and physical touch. They are the voice that calms and commands and cares. In the same way, we must cling to God. He is our life source and He holds on to us closely!…

Fast Night 16: Home
In the early morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went away to a secluded place and prayed there. Mark 1: 35 Christ will make His home in your hearts as you trust in Him. Your roots will grow down into God’s love and keep you strong. Ephesians 3:…

Fast Day 16: Refueled
Jesus had a busy day: He said to Simon and Andrew, “Follow Me and I will make you fishers of men.” Immediately they left their nets and followed Him. And going on a little farther, He saw James and John. Immediately He called them and they went away to follow Him. They went into Capernaum…

Fast Day 15: Watered
We are uniquely designed by God. He created us! Our Meyers & Briggs personality type, our DISC personality description, and our Enneagram personality framework all reflect the loving way that He put together our spirit and our soul. And whether we are shaped like a pear, an apple, a triangle, or a rectangle, we are…

Fast Day 14: Springs of Water
Jeremiah is called the weeping prophet (Jeremiah 13:17). He wept often because Judah had abandoned the Lord. God called him to preach the truth to those who were left after Babylon invaded, but they never listened. During biblical times, cisterns were artificial reservoirs that were either dug out of the earth or dug into rock.…

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.
