Hello Beautiful Ladies, 😘
I pray that each of you are doing well and staying healthy by God’s grace. ❤️
In 10 days, we will be entering our 4th monthly prayer challenge for God’s divine choice in the godly husband He has promised to each of us if He has spoken this to you. Coming up on May 2️⃣0️⃣th, 2️⃣0️⃣2️⃣0️⃣, we will incorporate a “voluntary fast” along with our 2️⃣0️⃣ minutes of praying. There are no obligations to participate; this is strictly voluntary. If you just want to pray, by all means, please do so. 🙏🏽😇 Furthermore, if you have health concerns restricting you from this “fast”, please just pray. Your well-being is very important. Additional scriptures will be posted to my website for the “fast”. You are still encouraged and more than welcome to join us in the reading and meditating of those verses.
For those of you ladies who are led to “fast”, we will follow the guidelines below. I’ve sought the Lord on how to conduct this.
These items will be excluded from practical things to give up during any type of “fast” we participate in out of concern for our overall health and well-beings: drinking water, prescribed medication, multi-vitamins or any type of vitamin supplement, special diets, protein shakes, exercise, physical therapy sessions, and the usage of all types of life-aiding and mobility devices. Through prayer, the Lord brought these things to mind. These essentials are necessary to have a good quality of life. Drinking plenty of water and staying hydrated are extremely important as well as taking your prescribed medications/vitamin supplements, eating healthy, exercising, using your life aiding and mobility devices if this applies to you, and participating in physical therapy sessions if needed. Please continue to do these things.
The idea of fasting is to set aside an extended period of quality and uninterrupted time spent by reading God’s Word, praying for our concerns/requests, leaving them at His feet, and trusting Him for the outcome to each of our situations.
Along with this, prayerfully consider something practical you can give up for either half the day or the whole day for our King with the exception of the items listed above. Please keep in mind, it should be something that’s already a part of your daily life. For example, giving up bacon or a fruit smoothie when these things are not part of your daily eating habits will be of no real value. If you intake these food or drink items once in a while, you are not going to necessarily crave them. Do you get the idea? Something practical can be your daily coffee intake if you are a coffee lover, sweets (chocolate, cake, danishes, ice cream, donuts, etc), social media, or a favorite tv program. These are just examples. You have a better idea of what your daily routines and eating habits are. Please prayerfully consider what the Lord may ask you to give up for either the entire or half the day on May 2️⃣0️⃣th. Please also pray for the Lord to give you His strength to do so. This will be challenging for all of us, but with the Lord, all things are possible. In addition, please keep your fasting time between you and the Lord.
In addition to our 2️⃣0️⃣ minutes of praying, we will spend an extra 40 minutes reading selected passages and verses from God’s Word that pertain to our waiting on and trusting in Him for the godly husband He has promised to each one of us if He has confirmed this to you. The scriptures will be posted via my website on the 2️⃣0️⃣th day of May. I highly encourage each of you ladies to keep a writing journal or notebook nearby and write down how the Lord is ministering and speaking to your heart through the scriptures. If you want to use your phone, tablet, or computer, please feel free to do so. I strongly believe by writing or keeping a record of how the Lord speaks to each of us will be a constant reminder of His faithfulness in our lives in the years to come.
The goal is to spend at least one hour with 2️⃣0️⃣ minutes dedicated to prayer and the remaining 40 minutes reading and meditating on His Word. Even if you exceed the timeframe, please feel free to do so. Allow the Holy Spirit to have His way in your quiet time with the Lord. There is no limit. The flexibility of the times will remain the same and it will be according to what works best for you. Please do your best to stick with our number 2️⃣0️⃣ theme and add the additional forty minutes to it by reading God’s Word. For example, if you choose the 3pm hour, then please start at 3:20 and so forth. Prayerfully consider an hour where the time can be freely spent in prayer and in God’s Word with no interruptions. The Lord is Faithful and He will show you.
Praying for all of you ladies. Have a blessed week ahead and we will connect soon.
Love and Blessings❤️
