My takeaway from this mornings Devo was: Private not Secret. I don't feel the need to carry a flag that reads I'm fasting. However, I will shout from the sidelines telling the world, how great it is to walk with Jesus.

Good morning GBC FAMILY. I pray things are going well. God can do it!!God is so able. God sees and he knows and will go ahead of you to make any crooked way straight..any people, places, things, situations, health and finances , all things must move as God moves before us to remove it or give us what we need to endure. Selah

DAY 3 – Staying the Course Scripture: Daniel 10:2–3 In those days I, Daniel, was mourning for three weeks. I ate no delicacies, no meat or wine entered my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, for the full three weeks. Word for the Day: Persistence Biblical Background: Daniel fasted for understanding, even when answers were delayed. His persistence preceded revelation. Practical Meaning: Delay does not mean denial. Persistence in fasting positions us to hear from God clearly. Going Beyond Tip: Resist discouragement today and commit to pressing forward with expectation. Daily Prayer: God, strengthen me to persist even when answers seem delayed. Help me remain faithful and focused as I seek You. I trust You are working. Amen.

Day 2 – Joel 2:12–13 “Yet even now,” declares the Lord,“return to me with all your heart,with fasting, with weeping, and with mourning;and rend your hearts and not your garments.”Return to the Lord your God,for he is gracious and merciful,slow to anger, and abounding in steadfast love;and he relents over disaster. Word for the Day: Return Biblical Background: Joel called the people to return to God with sincere hearts, not outward performance. God desired repentance rooted in relationship. Practical Meaning: Fasting re-centers our hearts on God. It’s an invitation to come back to Him fully, not partially. Going Beyond Tip: Examine what has distracted your devotion and intentionally turn your heart fully back to God today. Daily Prayer:Lord, I return my heart fully to You. Remove distractions and restore my passion for You. Draw me closer as I seek You during this fast. Amen. COMMENT BELOW: What was your biggest takeaway from today?
