Fasting - Prayer focus you on why you are fasting
Your prayer should be constantly keeping your heart and mind in tune with why
you’re fasting. The prayer side is designed to keep you in touch with why
you’re fasting lest you’re just abstaining from food to reach a goal. Does
that make sense? And if you feel like you can’t make it and you’re just falling
apart, “God could you help me and just remove this? And it’s obvious,” watch, “it’s
obvious I have a serious cry of the flesh. It’s obvious that this thing is
trying to outweigh my cry for you. And nothing will outshout my heart to know
you.” See that’s powerful prayer right there. “And God my heart’s before you
and I’m not just trying to abstain from food, because the finished work of
Jesus is enough but I must know you more and with this kind of indulgence, with
this kind of carnal cry, how will I ever live fueled by the Spirit? God, I want
to live by the Spirit.”1
