I've noticed how I have great faith in praying for things that I misplace. With practice comes near perfection--I guress.

Today my car lights were left on. (passive tense) The batter was dead. And once started the idle was stuck; so the car kept dying when stationary. Three miles to go, and many stop lights. PRAY.

I noticed the similarity between a problem car and fasting. Fasting makes one more self-aware of both one's physical needs, and one's spiritual lacking for dealing with that physical need. That's why it either workds or doesn't work in bringing you closer to the goal of walking in the Spirit. So too a problematic automobile.

Praying, praying, praying. And I noticed that my dependance on God became more clear in its sincerity.

So, I thought to share that.


ANY OTHER KINDS OF "FASTS" OUT THERE?
