Day 6
One of the interesting things about fasting is that even though your world has been turned upside down for a season – the rest of the world goes along as if nothing is happening. But let me remind you – something is happening and all of Heaven is sitting up and taking notice. Don’t look back now. Press on and press in!
Many times, the greatest obstacle to moving forward with the Lord isn’t in the past; it’s some paralysing event or set of circumstances happening right now. Criticism, betrayal, conflict or even things like a bad medical report or a child who is far away from God can stop you where you stand and things like purpose, calling and legacy seem like a distant, fading ship in the fog. I bring you good news – Jesus hasn’t gone anywhere, and just like He was with Peter when Peter walked on water – He is right there to save you. Your hope is not gone. Your future is secure and that set of circumstances you find yourself in is but a season, not a sentence. When your world appears as though it’s all falling apart in the physical, it’s actually falling into place in the spiritual. God’s got you!

Thought For The Day
— Persistence through prayer and fasting breaks resistance.
— Your season is not your sentence.
— Your season is not your sentence.
Verses For The Day
2 Corinthians 4:6-10
For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.

Daily Prayer Focus
Start to write prayer requests that you are willing to pray over every day until you see them answered. Stubborn stains require extra cleaning and stubborn situations require more than one quick prayer.
