There is a real need today to know what you are to do. I am talking about the practical, the every day kind of decision. I am also talking about the big ones. University? Career? Marriage? Employment? Quitting? Staying? Relationships? What is right? Schedule?
People constantly ask me about decisions they are about to make. What do I think? What would I do? Would I pray? I don’t have answers many times but I listen.
We live in a quick world. Fast paced. Decisions converge on the doorstep of what is next. There is never a time to process it seems.
Maybe the Daniel Fast is a good option for you
So, slow down? Can we? Can I suggest a radical change in your daily life at least for a season of time?
I recently talked with some great friends about some choices they were making. These were Godly people whom I respected and honored greatly. After brief discussion I shared the essence of the following. I hope it helps you:
Pray and Fast. Do a Daniel fast. One of the best resources I have read and recently used is The Daniel Fast by Susan Gregory.
You can find it at http://DanielFast.wordpress.com.
Buy the book, read it and give yourself a great gift; time to hear the voice of God and see breakthroughs take place in your life. Please know I am not pitching a book as much as encouraging you to spend time with God in a very disciplined manner. I have seen God break through in very practical ways. I was not looking for the big miracle. Rather, just the every day stuff where I needed God to help me. I am a better man for it. I depend on God and fasting helped me realize that I wasn’t, as I should. As a matter of fact, I discovered that the disciplines that come with fasting are essential for what I am attempting. I depend on God. He really is helping me.
That’s what I told them. I encourage you today to find a way to give God more time. Perhaps this method of a Daniel Fast could be a great option.
Join me in the journey. I have not arrived yet.
