Comments on: Why Fast? http://molded.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/why-fast/ Tue, 14 Jul 2009 00:20:30 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Rachel http://molded.wordpress.com/2009/01/17/why-fast/#comment-465 Rachel Fri, 23 Jan 2009 21:54:51 +0000 http://molded.wordpress.com/?p=411#comment-465 Numbers 1 and 3 are the precise reasons I didn't do the fast this year. You see, for the last 3 years or so we've been in a church that does a fast at the beginning of the year. At some point, I realized that I wasn't always doing the fast because the Lord had lead ME to do it. I did it for the reasons you stated above. So this time, it isn't out of rebellion, apathy, or not wanting to seek the Lord, it's just that when I do fast, I want it to be because He wants me to alone. Not all those other reasons. In any case, everytime I've ever done for those reasons alone, I never succeed, I always flop at it anyway and then give up completely. Thanks for sharing!
