Day 5, of 21 Day Fast

I am grateful to God that I started today out with a prayer. "Lord God, just be with me Jesus." I had no idea how much strenght I would gather from those few words in a prayer. I can't express that enough because I have said those words many times today. Lord God, just be with me Jesus. Jesus, Jesus, Jesus. There is nothing like the "name" of "Jesus".

Oh, it was tough today, really rough. The devil working all kinds of tricks on my mind and in my heart. But you know it wouldn't be God if the devil wasn't trying to work me. My birthday is coming up and a friend of mine wants to take me to lunch, I asked him if he would mind waiting until after 5p.m. and I told him why. It is a fast from sun up to sun down I told him. Well, he told me it was just foolishness that he would have to "plan his life around events" and he wasn't going to do it. So I told him "nevermind." God, God, God, oh well, something must be coming to revelation that day on my 35th birthday. I will wait and pray on it. The Lord knows I am being true to my committment.

Keep me in your prayers, this is as I have said a committment to God and I am dedicated to keeping my word. It has been for sure a conditioning of mind, body and spirit.

Be still and have faith in the Lord whose strenght I hold near to my heart.
