Secular Fast : Day Three

"Is not this the kind of fasting I have chosen:

to loose the chains of injustice

and untie the cords of the yoke,

to set the oppressed free

and break every yoke?" -Isaiah 58:6

Day three: I was so busy today that I barely had time to rest much less get distracted by secular things. But if I learned anything about being busy is that sometimes the enemy will use busyness to distract us from God rather than sin. In saying that I made time to pray. I feel like people forget the veil has been torn. We forget that through Christ we can have a personal relationship with God. And although I highly recommend having time just only just to pray, we don’t have to shy away from talking to Him while we are washing dishes or mopping the floor. I feel like prayer is something we take for granted many times which is so unfortunate judging that if we had the ability to talk to a king or president we will be overjoyed. So why do we shy away from talking to God?

So I talked to God while I was cleaning and it felt really good. I’m usually alone (other than my cats and dog) so being able to talk to God made me feel happy and less alone. It also helped me calm down when I saw the mess of a room I was cleaning lol. I definitely felt overall happier and satisfied with today.
