That’s the rate that it feels like my thoughts
are going through my head today.
A million miles an hour.
Do you ever have days like that?
When I do, the best thing I can do is pray and fast.
So I’m doing that.
And I’m asking if you would join me tomorrow too?
As we lift up some very specific needs on the adoption front…
and as we share our requests and pray for each other?
Tomorrow.

Prayer
and
Fasting
{I will do a post, just after midnight tonight,
where you can share your requests.}
If you have never fasted, tomorrow would be a great time to start. It is a spiritual discipline that is not really optional. God’s word says, “When you fast….” Clearly indicating that we are supposed to fast. I have heard from dozens of bloggy friends who had never fasted before, until they joined in on our days of prayer and fasting and they cannot believe what it has done to their spiritual life!
Fasting is giving up something we all love {food} to get on our knees before Him and ask Him:
to speak,
to move that mountain,
to provide,
to comfort,
to bring Mr. Right along,
to open a spouses heart to adoption,
to bring a wayward child home,
to draw a loved one’s heart to Christ,
to provide the resources for
bringing home another treasure,
to provide a job,
to sell a home,
to heal someone you love,
to give wisdom in a situation,
to reconcile a broken relationship,
to reveal His will,
and in the process
to make us more like Him!
There are many out there in bloggy land
who desperately need to hear from the Lord!
So tomorrow we will join together,
sharing our needs,
and praying for each other.
And God will move.
Because He loves us oh-so-much!
I am in! Much needed on this end right now too.
SO IN!
we need to catch up soon. It has been forever.
love you~

I've been wanting to thank you for your message on fasting last week. During your message, God convicted me to be fasting/praying weekly for the brokenness in our family. I've chosen Tuesday for my fasting day so today I'm spending time with God and trusting Him for HUGE miracles in our family. We are in such desperate need. Thanks again for your message – it really ministered to me and encouraged me!
I love you, sweet friend!
I will be praying and fasting, Linny…
Count me in!
Impeccable timing on this one – especially for where we're at!!!
It's gotta be God for us to be excited about depriving ourselves of food, time and energy to lift up needs around the world to Him in prayer.
Isn't the Lord amazingly cool? Really amazing. Ya just got to LOVE Him!
Love you Linny!
hugs,
lisa
I'm in. 🙂
Can't even begin to tell you how timely this is Linny!! God just threw us a curveball, in the middle of trying to sell our house. He's funny that way…we're adopting again!! So excited and terrified all at the same time. Thanks for doing this!!!
Love ya,

I'm in Linny!!! I love our days together!
Absolutely!!!!!!! You have no idea how perfect this timing is for us. Georgia's heart stuff has gotten more intense and we have a monitor coming today or tomorrow in the mail. She is saying her heart is doing "funny boom booms" and laying on the floor to rest afterwards…SO need fasting & prayer for answers quickly as we are supposed to head to Mexico on a mission trip in 10 days!
Oh Linny, your timing is so perfect…….just as God's timing is so perfect. My daughter and her family are in dire need of prayer, desperately – and in turn……I am as well. I will note them when you open it up tonight. I'm in with the Knee Team, and will be praying and fasting for this beautiful group……and it will be so comforting to know that others are remembering my family in prayer as well. God's richest blessings to you.
Oh Linny!!! This is such perfect timing, I was going to try to email you and ask for the knee team to be in prayer for a very specific adoption situation in our lives. I asked for prayer for this little one a couple months ago. I can't wait to share more as God continues to move! 🙂 God is so good, this has been an ongoing prayer of our family for 3 years.
Oh I am so in need of this! We have been faced with so much negativity lately with out adoption.

Count me in! 🙂
Hi Linny – I posted a bit earlier today. I'm not going to be able to stay up until midnight when you post. I tried to, but it's 11:35 CST, and I'm fading fast. I will post my prayer requests in the morning. As I go throughout the day tomorrow praying and fasting, my plan is to stop at each each person who has posted, and pray over them. It is going to be a glorious and emotional day. I love our Knee Team. "Where two or more are gathered." We know our God is able. Thank you for this beautiful opportunity. God bless.
I am in too. Will be fasting with you all and praying over each request tomorrow evening after work. God Bless Debbie
