Fasting

Fasting can be a good thing for those who are eager to seek Gods will in their lives.  We all have moments when prayer can seems to go unanswered. For all who have suffered the death of a loved one, faced trials and tribulations, and never to seem to be able to move on from a past event.. This is when fasting can work mightily in our lives.

It has the ability to connect with God on a deeper level.

We can take the time to reflect on how much He loves us.

Jesus fasted for 40 days and 40 nights.

God will always reward us even when our prayers seem to go unanswered.

Weather or not God reveals to us why these things happen in our lives, we must continue to place our faith in Him. It reminds me of a song by MerceMe. The title is "Even if you don't". This means that while we are praying, our Hope must constantly be placed in the finished work of Christ. When he died on the Cross, the last thing He said was "It is Finished". The work that he did was accomplished over 2000 years ago, and our faith in that finished work is all we need. That is why Jesus said in Mathew 7:7 "Ask and ye shall receive; seek and ye shall find; knock and the door will be opened unto you".
