Fasting…Part 3

(Actually, I’m not really counting. But “part three” sounded better than “fasting, again.”)

Our family is going to give up one thing today. As a whole family, we are going to give up something together. We are doing it together, as the people did in the story of Esther.

We are praying for people in Japan, especially those affected by the tsunami. We are praying they are cared for. We are praying for those who are missing. We are praying for those who have lost loved ones and all their worldly possessions. We are praying that God will bring his Word to more people there.

We are thinking today about our God, the giver of all good things. And we are asking Him to pour His Spirit of hope on Japan.

Romans 8:31-32
What, then, shall we say in response to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all—how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things?

Join us in praying (and fasting if you would like).
