Day 5 – Confession Remember to accompany your fast with confession of sin. Confess your sin, your spiritual weaknesses, your lack of dependence on God; through this we can experience the cleansing forgiveness of Jesus Christ. Scripture Reading: I John 1-2 Key Passage: “When they had assembled at Mizpah, they drew water and poured it out before the LORD. On that day they fasted and there they confessed, ‘We have sinned against the LORD.’” I Samuel 7:6 Fasting Thought: “Confession recognizes the absence of God’s presence in our lives through our own willfulness or indifference. Fasting is an act of craving more of God’s presence, power and purity in our lives and ministry. Confession is admitting there is something wrong between you and God. Fasting is longing for the fullness of God to flood our souls. When we practice confession in our fasting, our fasting becomes more than a tool to bring God back to us, it becomes an instrument moving us back to God because God never moves.” ~ Gary Rohrmayer Prayer: Father in Heaven, show me through this fast those areas of spiritual weakness and self-reliance in my life in order that I may confess them and receive your healing, cleansing and purifying forgiveness. Father, I want to experience a new level of spiritual refreshment and strength that can only come through You. In the strong name of Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.
Fasting & Prayer Journal Today’s Prayer for EGBC: Father, we have sinned. We have harbored grudges against those in our church family. We have not welcomed those who are not ‘like us.’ We have not been moved by the plight of the lost sinners around us. We have not felt the urgency of doing what it takes so our church can reach them effectively. Forgive us and begin revival in our hearts.
