Fasting
I thought about fasting all day yesterday. I feel like God is calling me to fast and pray, but I want to make sure my motivation is clear. I have not fasted for quite a while, and I am worried about my motivation. Am I fasting because I want my daughter to come home, or am I fasting to try to hear God clearly? My emotions are so mixed up right now, and I am so depressed. So, anyway, I am going to fast for 24 hours. I will be praying for Brenna and all prodigals during that time. Thoughts, family?

Just a word of caution Tammy. A lack of carbohydrates has been known to make depression worse.

Praying for you Tammy and Brenna. You are a daughter of God's and a sister to Jesus! Dwell on that during your fast and believe it.

Thanks for your prayers Craig,and the encouragement and focus, and I appreciate the caution Wes. I won't overdo it, I promise. Just 24 hours this time. Maybe I will try to get outside tomorrow during lunch. It will be warmer than it has been (45 degrees F).
