Intermittent Fasting, Hungry and Praising God

The bible is full of verses about fasting. 2 Samuel 1:12 12 And they mourned , and wept , and fasted until even, for Saul, and for Jonathan his son, and for the people of the LORD, and for the house of Israel; because they were fallen by the sword. Acts 13:2 2 As they ministered to the Lord, and fasted , the Holy Ghost said * , Separate me * Barnabas and Saul for the work whereunto I have called them. Esther 4:16 16 Go , gather together all the Jews that are present in Shushan, and fast ye for me, and neither eat nor drink three days, night or day: I also and my maidens will fast likewise; ...

Get yourself a study buddy

We have our friends that we share our faith with, our Sunday School classes where we can study and learn and ask for prayers. But what I think every Christian needs is a study buddy.

It’s a courtesy when we agree, kind of like holding the door open for someone older, I am trying my hard level best to pray right then, when I am asked. If I’m at home, out loud, if I’m in public, in my head. Jesus said He only spoke out loud so those around Him could hear, the Father hears all the time. John 11:41-42 I’ve heard some people say they stop right then and pray with the person, I’ve only done that once or twice, when it feels like the thing to do, and the time to do it. Some people absolutely do not mean right here and right now Either way, my habit training is to pray as soon as I receive a request. And I only do this because I was the absolute worst at saying yes, and then drawing a complete and utter blank when I am in my regular prayer routine. ...
