Reflections on the One Prayer Fast
Last week we did a communal fast at Fellowship Church. It was a week full of listening to God and caffeine headaches.
Honestly, Friday was my most difficult day. Friday’s are my day off and I spend most of the day at home, disconnected from the folks I normally do life with. One of the biggest things I learned through the week was the power of strong Christian community.
Isolation primes us for attack. In my case, the cravings were stronger and the reasons to quit were more clear than ever - I lacked focus because I lacked friendship.
Fortunately my awesome wife was there to help - coming up with creative dinner ideas and helping us make it through the home stretch.
Lesson of the week: Community is the context for growth.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.
‘Tis the truth.
Thanks Johnny!
