Day 6 of a 21-Day Fast

Sometimes we need renewal in our spiritual lives. Fasting is one of the ways that you can cleanse your body and aid the process of communicating with the Father.On your sixth day of fasting, remember:
- Drink lots of water
- Rest to conserve energy
- Utilize your personal prayer time and prayer place
- Journal your experience
- Concentrate on prolonged times of meditation and listening
- Sugar free mints

Physical Effects:
- Senses begin to heighten
- Cravings can occur, especially with pictures and smells
- Weight loss continues
- Bad breath

Today’s Quote: “Our forefathers knew, it seems, how to communicate with the Almighty … but do we? We must learn anew to think deeply, to worship meaningfully, to meditate unhurriedly.” (Charles Swindoll - Intimacy with the Almighty)

Thoughts for your Journal:
- How is experiencing fasting as a private discipline bringing you closer to God?
- Has God revealed anything to you since the Fast has begun?
