IN A MINUTE: A Day of Fasting

I give up my need to know the future

Trying to get a head start on the problems and the solutions

Which reminds me that I am not trusting Him.

I sacrifice my need to understand

Which I have too often demanded

And withheld obedience in its absence.

I will not take a bite of my go to question of “why?”

In the face of contradictory circumstances

And being frustrated at God’s “Because.”

I’m going to fast from my desire for God

To put the whole world on hold

And focus on “ME! ME! ME!”.

What are you going to give up today? You know fasting does not always have to be about abstaining from food. I’m sure the Father would be delighted if we His children would give up some of our immature attitudes.
