fasting plus prayer

yo peeps! this week fasting and prayer focus, how was it for all of you? at least i know i hang on till the very last.

fasting- fasting for 120hrs was my very first time. i never even tried fasting for 24hrs before! i think i shoot words off too quickly when i say it was 'no kick'? but nevertheless, i did fast for 120hrs. and i succeeded. amen to that la! initially, the first day was still alright. the hunger jus come during lunch time and lasted till e nite. only when i had my quiet time, the hunger is gone. the following days went on the same. perhaps it was my first time, i wasn't still used to it. the 2nd day onwards, i started to feel giddy whenever i climbed up the stairs to my class because its at the fifth floor. you all may think is jus fifth floor, but, the steps were of big gaps. it were big steps that i took, and was early in the morning, when my eyes were even barely open. i was just getting more and more lethargic day after day, even falling aslp halfway thru 2 of my maths test[i wonder how badly i had done]. however, impt lesson that i learn was really to pray more and even more. i pray whenever i felt lik i was about to die? not really to that extreme. but i just learn to pray more for strength la. when i pray, hunger were replace by strength and power from God. though physically i was still tired, but mentally, still workin. still was able to think[sounds contradicting?i don't know la]. anyw,i really thank God for that, which was lik a miracle. if not, i dun think i could even last thru one day.

prayer- praying with our partner was another fear to conquer? luckily my partner was none other than my connect grp ldr, esther. *clap clap* yeah! it therefore made communication easier for us. on mon, the start of everything, i was still in the blurr condition, i believe. it was jus 3 min aft my own quiet time when esther called to pray for the particular theme. on the first day, esther started the prayer and closes it. i was sort of in e middle. frm e 2nd day onward, i was the one who started prayin first, becoz esther had ask me to. it was a struggle for me. as some of the theme, i dun really noe wat to pray for la. so it was a hard time for me. but luckily, i had esther! she was guiding me all along, teaching me what i can do and stuffs. e.g. lik writin down wat i wan to pray for so i will not forget and stuffs. then also keep encouraging me la. till now, i kind of like e 15 mins of praying wif my partner.

thats all i wanna share abt my tis wk of experience. sounds lik sharin testimony lik tat sia. lol. that's all folks! =D happy family keep rocking mann!!
