What does it mean to have faith? Does it mean that we remember God before we eat or during our daily (or sometimes weekly) devotional? For one of my colleagues, it means everything. She left her family and moved 3000 miles away without a job or a support network. I asked her why she did it and she said, because God led me here. I was blown away. She said that she never had fear or anxiety over her move and when it is time for her to move on, she will. Amazing. I asked her how she knew that it was God leading her and she said that she knows him. How does she know him? She reads her scriptures and loses herself in prayer. Wow.
I have set off to fast and pray many times, but I always find some excuse to not follow through. I want that kind of faith. I want that kind of strength or better yet, I want that level of surrender. I want to surrender my heart and my soul and give it to the Lord. Fasting is tough for me but when I have meditated in scripture, I have found a tiny piece of what she lives every day. In this crazy age we live in, without that constant connection, it would be so easy to lose your way and that is what I fear. I need to stop fearing and start praying.
