Angelwings 1 Posted October 10, 2011 I went on a fast and I feel so refreshed. Honestly, I've always turned my head away from fasting...but a current book I'm reading about fasting has really opened my eyes and changed my feelings.During my fast I was expecting some miraculous thing to happen....but instead I experienced an overwhelming peace. The whole time I was fasting I kept hearing "your battle is the Lords".Just when I think I know how to hand over all my battles....something pops up that I think I can handle. I didn't realize I was a control freak!! Something I heard Beth Moore say once "Control freaks don't have fun" and that is so true.And Satan sure does know how to take advantage of a control freak. I have been letting fear grip me by the neck and I've been trying to control certain situations....even though I was praying over things I still had an undertone of not having trust in the Lord. Our faith demands that we hand over ALL of our problems. I thought I knew how to trust in the Lord in ALL things...but I was wrong. there are things I want SO BAD to happen RIGHT NOW....but the Lord is teaching me patience and how to rest in His promises. Sustain me, my God, according to your promise, and I will live; do not let my hopes be dashed. Uphold me, and I will be delivered. ~Ps. 119:116-117}I just want to thank Mia and the other members who encouraged me and prayed for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
