I don't keep a prayer journal but at times I write my prayers in my Bible Study/devotional journal that I use in my quiet time. It's hard for me to separate the two as sometimes I may read a scripture, start journaling about it and then end up writing a prayer regarding what I read.
If you are already eating vegan and are cutting out sugar, I've read that you could eliminate something that caters to the flesh etc. social media, entertainment, TV etc. Ultimately, I believe each individual should seek God's guidance as to what to eliminate during this fast. For me, He told me to restrict my diet (as per the Daniel Fast guidelines) as well as cut out Netflix. Hope this helps.Glad to see that you are sticking with the fast, OP!
What if you are already doing a version of this fast for health reasons? I have food allergies and have to watch what I eat and I already eat a lot of what is permitted on the fast. I know that one of the purposes of the fast is to cleanse the body so that you can grow closer to God. Will this aspect work if you are already eating like this?
Day 18 Recap
In the back of my mind, I keep wondering what's next? On Day 22, will my life be different? Has my life changed? Will others be able to detect a change? I really don't want to lose my momentum and this intimacy. I guess this is another thing to pray about.
I don't think I will be able to as well. But we can't afford to be ignorant of how the devil works. The flesh will always try to lure us back to that place of complacency. We will have to be on guard and militant about preserving what we fought so hard to obtain over these past few weeks.Quite frankly, I think I won't be able to go back to the status quo.
That's great. I'm on Day 6. Mornings are the hardest as all I'm having is fruits and nuts. I have to keep reminding myself that my focus should not be on food but on the spiritual connection I'm seeking to strengthen.starting today at 6:00 pm for 21 days
