Frontline Arlington Fast
January 21, 2010
Hello Frontline Arlington,
I am excited to fast with you from Saturday night to Sunday night. Fasting for me has always led to a greater understanding of how God is truly my provider and satisfier. Over the years when I have fasted regularly I have found my hunger for the Lord increasing. As you fast this weekend here are two things to pray for:
1) As you saturate your mind with the Word of God pray that you would hunger to know God more! That you would allow Him to be the ultimate satisfier of your needs. Read slowly what Paul said, “But whatever was to my profit I now consider loss for the sake of Christ. What is more, I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish, that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which is through faith in Christ—the righteousness that comes from God and is by faith.” (Phil 3:7-9) I long for you to know God intimately and obey His commands because you are so captivated by how much He loves you.
2) Pray that the Lord would move in the hearts of people in our city to respond actively to the Gospel. May this be the year that more people in this city are awakened to their need for a Savior! Make sure to pray specifically for friends, co-workers, family and the unknown person who you have yet to meet.
God has started a great work in you and He will see it through to completion so I beg of you to flee from the “world’s” desire to be your satisfier. There is only one and He wants to be your supreme satisfier! Have fun getting to know your Father in a deeper way and together we will wait in eager anticipation to see how He will answers our prayers.
