As you fast your energy begins to pick up again. I was having a hard time just waking up in the beginning, because I was so tired. But this morning I popped right out of bed and felt great, read the bible, then prayed. Fasting hlps us spiritually, but it also helps us physically as we get rid of some of that junk/toxins in our body that should not be there.
I am really enjoying this fast, my time with God seems more focused.

God has answered a lot of prayers today and yesterday. We really have been praying for some breakthrough during this fast, and God is already showing up. I am pumped. The fast is really brining my wife and I together as we talk about things we want to change about us in the inside. God is moving, it seamed like we were in such a dry time for a long time, but fasting and prayer and believing God will move has been keeping us going.

I am on day 7 of just water, and it went quite well, I have been praying a lot, and really asking God to really ignite a fire within me. My prayer time has been getting more interesting, although getting up early has been really hard. One good thing through 6 days I have lost 14 lbs.
