Day 119 - October 12 - Fasting tomorrow

As a reminder, those who desire to join us in fasting and praying for Connor's complete restoration tomorrow, 10/13, please feel free to do so. For those who are unfamiliar with the idea, "fasting" basically means doing without something for a purpose, and most often it's as a spiritual discipline. What I mean when I say I'm going to fast tomorrow is that I intend to go without eating solid food on Monday, 10/13. Instead, when I would normally be eating, and when I feel hungry, I will pray specifically for Connor.

I was looking up some scripture about fasting today, and I noticed something interesting. I've always associated fasting with prayer, and it is. But many of the mentions of fasting in the Bible refer to "fasting and worship". Hmmmm, says I. So I'd like to ask those of you who are joining me tomorrow to make a point of worshipping in that time as you pray.

Connor had a nice relaxing Sunday today, without complications. Please be praying that he will be patient as the day he goes home approaches - the final stretch is a challenge for him.

Please continue to pray for his health as well. We desire for him to be completely healthy when he goes home, so we're praying for protection of his health in these last few days at the hospital.

Finally, please be praying for the family as we prepare for this next step in the journey. We need it, desperately.

Coveting your prayers,

Eric
