Saturday Blessings to you!

Weekly Word from the Wisdom Walk
Hello Readers!
Just wanted to say I hope you are experiencing many blessings and a closer walk with the Savior as this season of fasting ends.
My goal is truly not to go back to all my "usual " way of life simply because the fast is over. I want to remain motivated to find extra time to spend with the Lord.  It won't hurt to continue skipping some of the useless activity that passes for entertainment,  and eating well works all the time.
It doesn't mean never having fun or never enjoying a decadent chocolate treat. Rather,  it's being mindful to keep my heart, appetites,  and feet in the direction that does the most good. God bless you and do join me next week for our regular post. And speaking of next week, would you please take a moment and lift my husband and I in prayer on Monday? Ministry needs. Thanks and walk strong.

Faithful in Prayer

As many of us approach the last week of the Daniel Fast, I hope you are experiencing a closer communion with God. Let's make this last week count not through greater effort but by listening ...
See what God will say as you continue the discipline of fasting and prayer.
I think this is a fitting way to enter into the next week. Let's make Daniel's prayer our own.

17 “Now, our God, hear the prayers and petitions of your servant. For your sake, Lord, look with favor on your desolate sanctuary. 18 Give ear,  our God, and hear open your eyes and see the desolation of the city that bears your Name. We do not make requests of you because we are righteous, but because of your great mercy 19 Lord, listen! Lord, forgive! Lord, hear and act! For your names sake, my God, do not delay, because your city and your people bear your Name.”

Good morning and God bless You!
Today begins the fast for many believers. Remember,  state your purpose. Why are you fasting? Is it just for health, for family issues ...
Whatever it is state it. I write mine down and just pray them at different times during a fast.
Have a plan. How are you going to do the fast? When and what you will eat, what other activities may not be conducive to fasting...
And last, persevere. The first day is always filled with anticipation. Maybe not so much day 10 and onwards. The flesh will find ways to rebel so stay focused and push through.
Lord, accept our worship as we 'push under' our flesh that our spirits may rise up in communion with you. Amen.

Praying Like Daniel

Happy New Year! Welcome to the very first Wisdom Walk reading of 2019. Bear with me through January as the focus will be on laying a spiritual foundation for our year, through prayer and fasting.

Some of you may have already started the Daniel Fast but don't forget to include Daniel's prayer which he prayed during the fast. Adapt it to reflect America, your state, or country, and pray it along with your personal prayer . Here is the first portion of the prayer found in Daniel 9:

O Lord, great and awesome God, who keeps His covenant and mercy with those who love Him, and with those who keep His commandments, 5 we have sinned and committed iniquity, we have done wickedly and rebelled, even by departing from Your precepts and Your judgments. 6 Neither have we heeded Your servants the prophets, who spoke in Your name to our (Leaders), to our fathers and all the people of the land. 7 O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us shame of face, as it is this day— because of the unfaithfulness which (we) have committed against You...

Let us take the Word seriously, if we confess and repent of our sins, God is faithful and just to forgive. May God strengthen you as you fast.
