Fasting And Prayer

Greetings to all; this weekend, as we trust God, let us continue to pray that God will keep us from the temptations that will dishonor Him and turn us away.

As God's people, we must maintain our trust in Him and focus and rely on Him. While prayer and fasting move God, we tend to think we can use them to manipulate our situations and circumstances to work out how we desire them.

There will be times in our lives when we will be tempted to turn away from God and not trust Him. During these times, we need to pray and fast.

Ezra 8:23 (GNB)

23 So, we fasted and prayed for God to protect us, and he answered our prayers.

Lesson: When done with seriousness, fasting and prayer prove our spiritual discipline and desire to deny our flesh and to be close to God as we seek His help in getting His help with the breakthrough we need.
