Day 4: This is the fourth day of my juice fast. Already I am feeling less hungry than the first three days of this journey. My strength is still low, but I find that I am able to do more walking and I am faster than I was yesterday. I have not resented this time for even one minute because of the time that I have been able to spend in prayer. I have been able to slow down so I can spend time in fellowship with the Lord that I would never make time for otherwise. I'm exceedingly grateful for this experience.
One thing that I have been thinking about today is how amazing it is how much food we don't need to survive. I have overindulged for a good part of my life ad have never realized what a negative thing that can be. Having been put in such a vulnerable state, I must rely on Jesus, and it reminds me of the power of prayer. In the Lord's prayer it says, "Our Father, who art in Heaven, hallowed be thy name. THY KINGDOM COME, THY WILL BE DONE." When Jesus taught us how to pray this prayer He was telling us that we must not discount the power of prayer. We, in fact, have the power to bring Heaven to Earth!!! How awesome is that!? So, as I fast, I not only have the opportunity to pray, but I have the opportunity to bring Heaven to Earth through His power, but I need to ASK to RECEIVE the full potential of what he has for me because it is through understanding that we may fully operate in the will of God.
It's hard to know what all to say, but any comments are welcome. Be Blessed!
