I am such a wimp when it comes to fasting. I was so sick all
day yesterday, the first day of our fast. I decided to drink a little coffee
this morning so I don’t get such a caffeine headache. So far, I feel better
today.
No major spiritual break through so far, but I just keep
hearing “Trust Me.” I still don’t know what I’m doing from moment to moment.
But I’m praying for God to shine his light on our situation. Here’s what I read
in my devotional this morning:
POUR ALL OF YOUR ENERGY into trusting Me. It is through trust that
you stay connected to Me, aware of My Presence. Every step on your life-journey
can be a step of faith. Baby steps of trust are simple for you; you can take
them with almost unconscious ease. Giant steps are another matter altogether:
leaping across chasms in semidarkness, scaling cliffs of uncertainty, trudging
through the valley of the shadow of death. These feats require sheer
concentration, as well as utter commitment to Me.
This makes trust sound a whole lot more active than
passive. I have felt like I’ve been too
passive, and that I should do more. But I do feel like we’re leaping across
chasms in semidarkness, scaling cliffs of uncertainty and trudging through the
valley of the shadow of death. So today I will work at pouring all my energy
into trusting Him and working with sheer concentration and utter commitment to
God. I will be powered by His grace and My Unswerving Hope.

I would love to hear from you! Let me know what you think and how I can pray for you. Most of us are carrying some pretty heavy baggage and the good news is, you don't have to carry it alone! You can lay it at the feet of Jesus, and sometimes we need help just letting go of our baggage and not picking it up again. We're in this together!
