Anyway, tomorrow marks the start of the 21 Days of Fasting & Prayer in my church! Honestly, prior to coming Evangel, I never thought that Christians have to fast too. I've seen Christian friends who've done so but never put much thought into it. After learning about the significance and purpose of it, I decided to take this up!

It'll be my first time taking part in it so I'm kinda worried that I wouldn't be able to stand firm in face of temptations. But that's the whole objective of this! To be fully reliant on God and seek Him whenever we feel weak and vulnerable.

Evangel split the 21 days of fasting into 7 sets, with each trinity taking a set (3 days) to fulfill! So tomorrow is my trinity's turn, which will last from 1st to 3rd March. I guess this makes it easier for us but yet allow us to experience it! I'll give it a try with 1 set first, and if I find it manageable, I'll probably go on to take on 1 more set.

Apart from the food fast, I'll be fasting from my social media accounts for the full duration of 21 days! Been trying short bursts of social media fasting and it really made a difference in my life. Instead of posting on my social media accounts on how I feel at the moment, talking about my problems online, I pray and talk to God about it. Of course there're times when I still went on those platforms and rant, so I really want to use this 21 days to learn how to be fully dependent on Him and not on social media!

Anyway, to understand why Christians fast, check out this post in this link: http://www1.cbn.com/spirituallife/the-power-of-prayer-and-fasting !

It won't be easy but it'll be worth it! I'm fearful but more excited to see how I'll experience more spiritual growth through this!!!

God please grant me with the determination and will to complete it! :-)
