A Special Gift

Written by stacy

“Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded.”
(James 4:8)

Diana wanted a closer relationship with God.?

So she decided to go on a forty-day fast.?

Diana knew it would be challenging since she was the mother of three young children!? ? But she committed to drinking only fresh juices and spending time in prayer every day.

Physically, Diana felt great.? ? And spiritually, Diana’s faith increased.?

She felt God’s peace like never before.? ? Diana believed that her fasting experience was like a special present from God!

Dear friend, the book of James says: “Come near to God and He will come near to you.???? When you humble yourself through fasting and prayer, you’ll enjoy a more intimate relationship with God.? I know because it has changed my life!

So consider setting aside time to fast and pray.? ? You may unwrap a special gift that God has waiting for you!
