Today is day one of a fast for me. My husband and I were impressed to fast not only for the health of a friends child but for other things. Actually, I feel like my heart has been breaking so much lately.
Heartbreak can be a horrible thing. Like when you break up with your boyfriend or you lose a pet. Sometimes it can be a loss of a job and even worse, a loss of a friend or family member. Heartbreak is hard.
Have you ever prayed that God would break your heart? It's a hard prayer. I think you pray it in your most prideful moments. It brings humility and it take you out of your role of "god".
I wish I could say I was super humble and contrite that I pray this prayer often. I have mentioned before that I so struggle with pride. But it seems God knows me better than I know myself. Well, of course He does. He made me! But seriously, God sees that virus of pride infect me and when it does, He breaks my heart.
So during this fast I am not only praying for healing for this beautiful girl. But for other beautiful girls who have no idea how beautiful they are. For girls in pain. For girls struggling with addiction or bulimia as I did. For girls to see how God sees them. I am praying for the women of this generation and generations to come.
If you would, please pray for me. Pray for focus and strength in this time. I am slightly ADD especially when it comes to prayer. But I also know and understand the power of prayer.
