Fasting for Change

Fasting, whether a meal or a whole day or more, praying boldly for our futures. Namely a husband, future marriage, future family, and our relationship with Christ to be changed no matter the outcome. May our hearts become more like Him.

Weekly fast? 7 Replies

I intend to start a weekly day of fasting to focus on praying for the subject of marriage, as well as my own personal spiritual growth. Anyone care to join me? I'm considering making Wednesday my day of fasting, since it would transition well into my church's weekly prayer service. If someone would like to fast with me, however, and would prefer another day I'd be open to anything. Reply »

Prayer Warrior Princesses

Started by Wendy Jun 16

Hey everyone! It has been a little while since I last said anything on here. I would like to continue to fast and pray for our future lives, our future husbands, and future children, all God willing. But I wanted to write a note of encouragement here. I think this time as single Christian women is an important time of us setting some of the foundational habits of a godly woman, wife, and mother in the future. This is a time to develop godly habits that will encourage our future spouses and children. So my prayer for myself and all of you as we wait patiently for God's timing in blessing us with a husband, is that we not only develop godly habits, but that we become Prayer Warrior Princesses. I want to be known as a woman who's knees are scuffed up from being on my knees praying. I want to be known as a woman who prays before any given situation, who prays from the moment I wake up until the moment my head hits the pillow. I want to be known as a woman who prays for people on the spot, not just saying I will pray for someone and then forgets. I want to be in a continual attitude of prayer, "practicing the presence of God" throughout the day. I want to be a Prayer Warrior Princess because I know that prayer is powerful and is the most important thing I can do as a future wife and future mother. Prayer moves things that are otherwise unexplainable. Prayer works. As I write these words, I just want to admit that I have not arrived to this level. I know it is important to pray and I talk about it more than I actually practice it. But as we pray together, I pray for that to change. I sincerely pray that I become a woman of action and follow through in prayer, not just talking about it. And I pray this for you as well. Let us come together to put our words into action and become Prayer Warrior Princesses! Reply »

I am going to steal some thoughts from Emily over on the Unfurling Flower group. I am a big fan, Emily if you are reading this!! :) Anyway, I want to for upcoming weeks, have the prayer focus to be our futures. I started this group as an extension of something I had already been doing, which was/is, fasting weekly for my future spouse, my future life. I do not necessarily know if God has marriage and a family in my future, but as in Candice's book, I have the desire for marriage and most likely this will happen in God's timing. I, only after finding this website and in talking with a good Christian friend, decided to start to boldly pray for a husband. And I know that is what brought many of you here. I want to pray boldly, despite my circumstances and my feelings. I want to thank God for that man, the man God is creating him to be at this moment. I want to pray boldly for my future with him, having or adopting children, relationships with his family and friends, and anything else that comes to mind. And I want to pray specifically for a man that will put God first and me second, a man that is a Christian leader, who leads by example. I want to trust God with all of these things, for it to happen soon, but for it to happen in His timing. And despite my desire for marriage, I do not want to manipulate any situation in order to rush it. And if a man does come in to my life, that if it is God's will for us to become one some day, that He would bring is closer together, and if not, that He would tear us a part, despite any pain. These are just a few of the things that I pray about when I fast for my future husband. If any one has other ideas, please feel free to share them. Let us come together and pray boldly!! Reply »
