Fasting and prayer retreat

I wasn’t sure that I wanted to share with everyone what I was going to be doing this weekend, but I’ve thought it over, and decided to share. I’m going on a prayer and fasting retreat in a remote part of Texas for three days. All I’m bringing is my bible, one book, and a lot of water!

I’m a little, ok, a lot, nervous about going on this retreat. I’m doing it alone and will have three days of pure fasting and praying; which is a good thing, but a scary thing at the same time. I hope anyone reading this can say a prayer for me so that the time is productive and inspiring.

There are things in our life that only God can take care of. I’m learning that the wounds created by this world are simply an opportunity for God to shed His light on our lives. There are issues we look at as evil or sinful, but, maybe it’s time we start looking at them for what they truly are, windows to our soul that only God can enter.

I’ll let you know how the retreat goes, so until then, peace be with you.

Michael
