PRONE TO WANDER
When I consider the word "temptation," I think of things to avoid…stealing, cheating, lying, over-indulging, etc. But those aren't the only things that tend to entice us to wander away from God. Other temptations are not so easily recognizable: relying on my own strength to fix my current circumstances, expecting my spouse and family to fulfill my need to be loved, believing that I know the best path forward in my life and that I'm the "captain of my own ship"; judging what others say and do because it's not the way I would do it. These temptations lead us to search for worldly ways to fill that God-shaped void in our hearts.
No amount of my own strength can bring me peace in my circumstances; no amount of love from others will make me feel complete; no amount of control or planning will give me contentment; and no amount of approval from myself or others can determine my value and worth. The things of this world may work for a short time, but they don't last. We will only be fully fulfilled by God. He alone will satisfy our needs.
As you spend time fasting today, pray this:
Holy Spirit, please bring to light the things that distract me and draw me further away from You. Forgive me for, and guard me from, being tempted to fill my need for You with things of the world. I trust You with my heart, life, and circumstances because You are faithful and love me. Thank You for Your peace that passes understanding. What an incredible gift!

"One day, Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, 'Lord, teach us to pray.'” Luke 11:1 “Lord, teach us to pray” is a powerful five-word prayer and the focus of our 21 Days of Prayer and Fasting. Join us as we learn how Jesus answered this prayer for his disciples and for us. Pray these five words.
