Intimacy With God Praying and Fasting
Prayer and Fasting intimacy with God.
Fasting and prayer can restore or strengthen your intimacy with God. Many find fasting helps them rediscover their “first love” for God again. Fasting is a way to humble yourself in the sight of God (Psalm 35:13; Ezra 8:21). King David said, “I humbled my soul with fasting” (Psalm 69:10)
- Fasting and prayer can help us hear God more clearly. To listen to God as you fast, consider combining a time of fasting with a practice of reading the word of God. Fasting and prayer can transform your prayer life into a richer and more personal experience with God.
- Fasting enables the Holy Spirit to reveal your actual spiritual condition. When you see your own brokenness more clearly, you can move toward repentance.
- When you experience revival in your own life through fasting, the grace and love of God can shine through you into the lives of others.
- Examine your heart. Ask God to help you see your brokenness clearly so that you can confess your sins and repent. In Scripture, God frequently calls upon people to repent of their sins before listening to their prayers.
