Starting a Spiritual Fast

I am in a ‘grouchy on the edge of weepy’ mood right now.  It’s 3pm in the afternoon and I haven’t had anything to eat today.

It’s not because I’ve been too busy to eat or because there isn’t anything good in the fridge. (There is plenty.)

It is because last night I set my heart on starting a fast. (Haven’t quite decided yet whether it will be a water fast or a fresh juice fast.)

I wondered as I fell asleep if I would remember when I woke up.  I wondered if I would feel the same way in the light of morning and hunger pangs.

I did remember and I do still feel the same.

I ate pretty late last night, so hunger is just now starting to show itself.

I’m nervous.  I have fasted meat for as long as five months but my longest water fast was just five days.   I would like to fast much longer this time.

I’m fasting for a spiritual breakthrough.  I’ll share more later.

For now, I would really appreciate your prayers and encouragement.
