Breakthrough Fast 2011 – Day 6 “Stay Onboard”

Day 6 of the fast is complete. How are you doing? Send me a note or comment to this blog. I would love to hear from you.

I hope you have stayed to your commitment up to this point. If you have not, don’t fret over the mistake you have made. And don’t lose sleep that you slipped and ate something that you should not have. Forget about all that. I didn’t call this fast to see how well you could follow the rules. I called this fast so you could strengthen and deepen your relationship with God. So for those who are off track, shake off the negativity. Today is your “get back on track day”.

Take a moment. Pray that God will renew your commitment and give you the strength to re-commit to Him. But beyond praying, take a second moment and evaluate yourself. Ask yourself, why am I fasting? If you hesitate or can’t readily define that answer, SLOW DOWN. This time of prayer and fasting is also a time of personal reflection. Take this time to be specific in your reason for fasting. And take this time to make a verbal commitment to the Lord. “Lord, I am fasting for restoration of my marriage.” “Lord, I am fasting for a closer relationship with you.” Whatever your specific goal is, make it plain. The writer of Proverbs said it well, “Do not let loyalty and faithfulness forsake you; bind them around your neck, write them on the tablet of your heart.” (Proverbs 3:3) Once you have done that, write it down and establish daily goals for the fast. I promise you. It will make your commitment to the fast easier and a lot more meaningful.

If you have been going strong these past 6 days; great! Keep it up. I assure you...the pain of sacrifice is better than the pain of regret. My prayer for you is the same prayer I have for myself. I pray that God with keep stoking our passions to complete the journey that we have started. Stay on board. The best is yet to come!
