fast is coming; battle is already starting

I must have gained a few pounds over the holidays. I can feel it. Yuck! I know that I have that mindset – I am about to fast, so I will just pig out. How wrong is that?

Lord, give me strength. I hate this feeling. Cleanse me and prepare my heart for what You will do over the 21 days of fasting. Thank You, Jesus. Amen.

January 3 begins the fast. I cannot wait to see what the LORD does.
