Day 5

  Today our journal says remember to:  journal your journey, concentrate on your own personal prayer time & place.
  Thoughts:
Q.  Why do you think fasting is important in order to acheive your greatest break throughs?
       Jesus fasted, and He intimately realted to His Father in heaven.  How has this fast, so far, helped you to relate to your heavenly Father?

A.  I believe that fasting is important in order to acheive my greatest breakthrough because, Jesus did it & he told us to do as he did.  He lead by expample and even told us that it would be necessary after he was crucified.
       So far, during this fast I am learning that my Father in heaven really & truely desires a personal intimate relationship with me and all his children.  He wants much more than to just be our father or crutch as most of tend to think or believe.  This is way deeper than we can really comprehend...I just pray that he'll speak to me and help me to understand the depth of His love for us/me and I desire to just get to know Him as much as I possibly can. 

Prayer focus for today: Health & Healing
  I listed My Dad who has lymphomia, relationships that need 2b healed, my mind, marrige, & my floater/sweating...

Isaiah 53:5 & Psalm 91:16

  Today was good, I finally got to chew my 1st fruit in 4 days.   I have never looked forward to veggies like I did today.  Though I did get to eat something, spiritually I have been lacking something all day.  I don't know if it was the anticipation/concentration on food or what.  To be honest I almost felt bad/guilty for eating & enjoying  my fruit & veggies today.  I think one thing I have learned from today is that when you get what you want, you tend to not concentrate on or give as much attention to your spiritual needs.  When your in a good place or you are happy, we tend to forget what the Lord has done & just move on until something happens to get our attention and sends us running back to God.

  My prayer is that I will not overlook my God whom has been so good to me and my family.  I want to always have him on my mind and in my heart.  I want to have Him as close to me as I can.  I am sorry for ever looking past Him to someone or something else...like thier is anything that could ever fill the void he fills.  I am thankful for all He has done for me, all he's gonna do for me and the work he's doing in and through me.  In Jesus name, AMEN.
