Day 7: Going strong

I have been doing well and I have no hunger urges, but at part of me still wants to look at food. I have not urge to want to eat it thought. So cleaning out my fridge is so easier without trying to sneak a tibit.

I haven't had too many detox symptoms, other then I get a sour stomache, but I got that the last time I fasted as well. It is horrible at times that I feel like I want to get sick. I have read that taking a teaspoon of apple cider vinagar would help, but I don't want to try it. I just drink more water to try and dilute the acid in my stomache. Ugh! I am really afraid of getting the skin break out on my back again since I got a bad one last time I fasted. My boyfriend didn't say anything but I am sure he was wondering why I had such a manifestation on my back.

I am feeling good, physical wise. My energy is good and at times I have a hard time sleeping at night because I have so much energy. I just need to harness it to clean my trailer instead of laying in bed reading a book at night.

My mind is not so muffled with all kinds of thoughts and I am able to think about things clearer and with better reason. A part of me wants to end my fast but I must hone my body and my mind to the will of God, especially during this time. I know that refraining from eating for a week or two will only glorify God and if I suffer a bit, so be it. I can only hope that my mind can stay focused on my prayer goals.

I want to give my prayers strength as well as cleanse my body for the Lord. I want to show my sincerity of my prayers.

My emotional heart healed, as well as my best friend might have lung cancer. I know that all my praying might not change anything, but it will help God work clearer in my life if only subject my will to him.

This fast is to heal what is broken in me as well as pray that God heals the brokenness in my friend's lives. This fast is to open the communication lines with God. I know He hears me but at times, I guess, the rebelous nature that I have, prevents me from hearing him.

My prayer goals during my fast:

1. Strengthen my relationship with my dearheart

2. Pray that my dearheart's stresses and burdens are relieved and resolved

3. Pray for my friend, K., that God heal her lung problems and strengthen her in time of weakness, especially her children and family during this time.

3. Seek salvation for my family (parents, siblings) and my friends

4. Become a better steward with my money, and be able to pay off my current debts.

5.Protect my heart and soul from the secular things that make me stray from the will of God. Allow me to see the things that I should shy away from in order to keep my path straight.

6. Glorify God in new and different ways.
