When was the last time God asked you to give up something? I am not talking about God saying, "Don't watch porn" or "Stop sleeping with that person who is not your spouse." Those things are a given if you are a Christ follower. I am talking about fasting from something so that you can focus on God. What is fasting? Fasting is where you purposefully give something up so that you can focus on prayer and God. You can fast from food, television, movies, sports, fishing, hunting, words, or anything else you can think of. You are telling God that it is more important to seek Him then to do these other things.
So when was the last time you fasted? Here is the challenge: find something that you will give up for a period of time so that you can focus on praying for The Crossing. Pray that God will increase the capacity of the church and that God will change more lives in this next year then ever before. Pray that you can have God's heart for Elk River. Pray that you can know God more.
Seek God and He will answer.
