Day 6

Today is actually day 7, but I didn't get a chance to write yesterday, so here we go...
I am still feeling pretty good. My family is worried about me and I think after the 7 day I am going to turn my fast into a Daniel fast. I would be able to eat veggies and fruits and beans and nuts. Just no sugar, meat, white flour. I am kind of worried about my weight too. I don't want to lose any more. I think I am down to 126lbs. and I don't look gross. It's just that I don't want to become unhealthy.
Day 6: God Delights in Renewal
Sometimes we need renewal in our spiritual lives. Fasting is one of the ways that you can cleanse your body and aid the process of communicating with the Father.
On your sixth day of fasting, remember:
1. Drink lots of water
2. Rest to conserve energy
3. Utilize your personal prayer time and prayer place
4. Journal your experience
5. Concentrate on prolonged times of meditation and listening
6. Sugar free mints
Physical Effects:
1. Senses begin to heighten
2. Cravings can occur, especially with pictures and smells
3. Weight loss continues
4. Bad breath
Today's Quote:"Our forefathers knew, it seems, how to communicate with the Almighty, but do we? We must learn anew to think deeply, to worship meaningfully, to meditate unhurriedly."
Charles Swindoll Intimacy with the Almighty
Thoughts for your Journal:
1. How is experiencing fasting as a private discipline bringing you closer to God? I talk to him all of the time, but I am really becoming exhausted mentally. I feel like I am not thinking clearly. I don't know what to do...
2. Has God revealed anything to you since the Fast has begun? There is something about Joshua and the battle for Jericho, but I haven't really figured that one out yet.
