Hello! Has it been challenging to fast and pray? Don't worry. Just keep doing what you can. Remember, God is more concern about your heart
Proverbs 21:2,3 All a man's ways seem right to him, but the LORD weighs the heart.
To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the LORD than sacrifice.
He looks more at the intentions of you heart in doing this. And guess what?
Even when we forget to pray, we can take comfort in knowing that Our Lord Jesus Christ is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for us.
Hebrews 7:25 “He is able, once and forever, to save those who come to God through him. He lives forever to intercede with God on their behalf” (NLT).
Romans 34 8:, “It is Christ who died, and furthermore is also risen, who is even at the right hand of God, who also makes intercession for us” (NKJV).
Robert Murray M’Cheyne, a 19th-century Scottish minister, said, “If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet the distance makes no difference; he is praying for me."
What an awesome thing! And one more to blow your mind! Have you ever felt like at lost on what to pray and how to pray? The third party of the Trinity took care of that too. The Holy Spirit is interceding for us !
Romans 8:26 "Likewise the Spirit helps us in our weakness. For we do not know what to pray for as we ought, but the Spirit himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words."
So relax, do not give up yet in setting aside this time to spend with the Lord through fasting and praying. If all you can do is quiet down and listen to worship songs or even classical music or any music that ushers you in His presence It is ok. Just soak in the presence of the One who loves you so much , the lover of your soul! He wants you to know how deep, how long, how wide, is His love for you! Enjoy your date with Him!
Love you guys!
