Fasting and Answers

I have never truly fasted from food.  I have never really tried.  But in all of the craziness going on in our home I felt that I needed to.  I don't know what I expected to get from it but I just felt like maybe God would answer my prayers more quickly. 

I fasted for one day.  It was hard at times but I got through it.  Towards the end I felt like fasting for an answer that day was not going to happen.  I really think this realization was from the Lord.  But what I did get was clarity. 

We sang a song in church on Sunday.  The chorus goes:

I'm running to your arms
I'm running to your arms
The richness of your love will always be enough
Nothing compares to your embrace
Light of the world forever reigns.

The line that says "The richness of your love will always be enough" was the only the thing that I could think of during this time of fasting.  Any underlying anxiety I had was completely wiped away.  And one day later the Lord opened a huge door!

I am so thankful for a faithful God.  Here is a song that I just love!


"If I call, will You come
When I cry, do You hear
I believe every tear
Is caught up by a faithful God
So I will cry until You come
Cast my cares into Your arms
I can't see past this storm
But I'm counting on a faithful God

Faithful God
You hold my life secure
All my days are Yours
I believe
My God is like a fire defending me
Faithfully

I believe You still heal
And demons still bow
I'm convinced there is power
In trusting in a faithful God
So I will praise till You appear
And set Your foot upon this shore
I declare that every foe
Is subject to my faithful God

I know that You are mine
And I am Yours, I am Yours
I know Your faithfulness
It will endure, it will endure"
