Prayer & Fasting Reading Material Recommendations
I am in the middle of 21 days of prayer and fasting with my church at Evergreen. The point of the exercise is to deny myself in order to heighten my awareness of God. This practice of self-control has been difficult; I am fasting all meals with the exception of a simple family dinner each night. In addition to my fast I have committed myself to extended amounts of scripture reading and prayer.
If you're anything like me it can be difficult to figure out what to read and how to pray! I put together a list of potential reading material to help you with that. I use a prayer guide with weekly themes, daily readings, and a scripture reading plan. I am writing out some thought and some prayers in a simple journey. It's been rewarding so far and the fast is only beginning. Check out these resources if your looking for a little more help!
