Fasting like Daniel – Day 7

Help me

Fast: Breakfast

“Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises” James 5:13 (NLT)

I find it extremely hard to believe that anyone does not need God’s help. Some days when praying I feel like a needy child! Continuous praying one prayer after the other “Father please help me!” But isn’t this what scripture tells us to do? The solution to suffering hardships is to pray. God acts on our prayers and He is waiting for you to bring your hardships to Him.

Remember, fasting is not about getting answers to your troubles or choices. It’s about getting closer to God – to clearly hear Him and to obey Him.

Prayer: Father, I know at times I feel very needy, but I thank You for Your Grace and Your Word that tells me to pray when times are hard. I ask Lord, please help us through this fast and open Your ears to the prayers of Your children to their hardships. Amen.

Scripture: Matthew Chapters 17-19 & Daniel 10:8-11
