Day 4

Things are going well here on day for of my fast. I haven't been hungry at all today and that has felt good - not to be shaky and weary. I am moving forward. I have been trying not to think about the weight loss aspect of fasting. By I am a woman and my weight is on my mind a lot. I did weight myself this morning and I have lost 3.5 lbs. That is a plus, but that is not the reason I am fasting and I was talking to God about that this morning. Please search my heart and know that my intentions are solely for my husband and our marriage. Nothing else. Drinking V8 for lunch. Yum!

Day 4: Target Your Prayers
The disciples cannot cast the demon out of the boy, and Jesus has to do it. Some only come out through prayer and fasting. Matthew 10
On your fourth day of fasting, remember:
1. Drink lots of water
2. Get support from your accountability partner or group
3. Listen as you pray
4. Record His response to your prayers
Physical Effects:
1. You begin to settle into the fast
2. Cravings begin to subside
3. Headaches sometimes occur at this stage
4. Your body begins ridding itself of toxins
Today's Quote:"As important and intriguing as divine depths might be, they defy discovery by the natural means of our minds. He reserves these things for those whose hearts are completely His for those who take the time to wait before Him. Only in that way can there be intimacy with the Almighty."
Charles Swindoll Intimacy with the Almighty
Thoughts for your Journal:
1. Do you have a friend or loved one that is in need of Salvation? My husband! He really, really, really needs God in his life and blow his doors off. He is still very lost and thinking unclear. He brought his "girlfriend" out to meet his parents and that really messed with me. His dad assured me though that they did not skirt around the issue. That they said in front of her that they are believing and praying for nothing but restoration.
2. Is there any healing that you need physically? I am healthy, but I will put two girls who need healing in their bodies in front of the Lord as well. Jackie & Jennifer. Lord, you can heal these two you ladies. You can touch their bodies in a miraculous way. You can do anything.
3. What are the needs in your family right now? Restoration of my marriage, financial support for my sisters and parents. My family has never been well off and times are pretty tough right now for everyone.
