Why?

This is mostly about: hope, self-control, guidance, prayer, the Holy Spirit, my body ("the Temple") and first & foremost WORSHIP. I've battled selfishness, ego, pride, resentment, arrogance and lust for some time, and above all of these, I've found that selfishness progresses. This Fast is NOT about me, but about the people I will spend my time in prayer for.

The Plan

I've decided that with each day, I will spend my time in prayer and the Word for groups, people and ministries that God placed on my heart while seeking to submit this time to Him. Twenty topics have been pre-chosen, and through the days I shall reveal one topic per day. I will research and wait on the Holy Spirit to tell me when to act and speak... My hope is to compile a list of prayer requests that I will continue to pray for through out the year.

Journey and Pray with me on this.

Encourage me, if you feel necessary.
