I've just come through the worst ten months of my life and I am weary. Body, mind and soul, I am weary.
And I'm realizing some things about myself that MUST change. And I've discovered myself to be madly in love with Jesus. I want more of Jesus. I want more of the face of God. I want to know Him well. I want to stop repeating the same mistakes. I want to be found faithful to God. I want an undivided heart and to live a life of undistracted devotion to Him.
I was thinking to those ends while I was in the bookstore. I found a study called "Jesus, the One and Only" and decided to get it. It's a ninety day study. I asked the Lord, "What else can I do over these ninety days to know You and Jesus more?" So...God impressed upon me the idea of fasting. Then I got to thinking about the Daniel fast, and something clicked. So, the plan is that I (and my comrades) will do the Daniel fast for three weeks. The second three weeks, I will do a liquid fast for two days each of those three weeks. Lather, rinse, repeat. Before you know it, 90 days is up and my life is radically changed. I hope.
All I really want is to be about My Father's business. I want to sit at His feet and commune with Him. I want the things of this earth to be dethroned and for God to take His rightful place in my heart.
