What do you do when you are feeling stressed?
Or how about when you are feeling anxious or unsettled?
Or when you are waiting for something?
Like waiting for the results of a medical test?
Or perhaps a biopsy?
The wait can be agonizing, can’t it?
So what is the best way to respond to waiting and stress and anxiousness?
Personally speaking, prayer and fasting is the
speediest way for me to get to a place of peace.
Today I was sensing that many of you,
my bloggy friends,
may be struggling with things that are causing
you to be stressed, anxious and unsettled…
or things you are waiting for
or things that appear to be spinning out of your control…
and you are lacking peace…
So I am asking each of you to join me in a day of
Prayer and Fasting {if possible}
Friday
May 24th, 2013
We have had powerful answers in previous days of Prayer and Fasting…
Why?
Because He’s a faithful God and He loves when we ban together for a specific purpose.
I pray that you will be willing to join, whether you pray, fast a meal or fast the entire day.
“Do not be anxious about anything,
but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests
be made known to God.”
Phil. 4:6
***Friday morning {in the wee hours}
I will put up a post where you call
can share your prayer requests in the
comments…
and we will pray through them and
watch and see God move.***
“He is the Rock, His works are perfect, and all His ways are just. A faithful God who does no wrong, upright and just is He.”
Deut 32:4
Will you join with friends around the world?
I am SO in on this, sister!!!! Excited to fast and pray for so many others, and to know my petitions will be lifted as well. Thank you!
Yes! Yes! Yes! I am in. xoxoxox
Hi Linny,
I will want to fast with you on Friday. I will be in the midst of driving cross country so will be somewhere between home and where my Marine son is…can't wait to see him! I am hoping I can put my prayer request here due to being in route on unable to have internet access. Please pray for the victims of the Tornados. And please pray that mother nature calms herself down so these storms are not so strong to cause so much destruction. Thank you Linny.
Here's a song recommendation that is reverberating with me today, having just found God's peace again after 2 weeks of being very unsettled: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GIpIHfZ88PM

Thank you for initiating this. I look forward to Friday.
To fully recover from a complex spinal fusion, regain my ability to walk and balance and escape the debilitating pain I experience daily, 4 months after surgery, I pray to the Lord.
I will not have access to my computer Friday early…
Oh sweet sweet woman of God…… you spoke to my spirit today. I am fighting tears and my spirit is screaming YES YES YES YES YES!!!!! yesterday Jesus took me to Matthew 4:4 Man shall not live by bread alone but by every word that proceeds out of the mouth of the father. And now I read this post….. I will be right there with you. Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled. thank you.

Oh, Linny, how much I need the prayer and fasting day tomorrow. Going through a very hard time now. Looking forward to lifting up others in prayer too!
Count me in!
I will fast on Friday. Praying, for about the millionth time, for a miracle in my boys' lives.
I am in!
