I know that technically fasting is supposed to be top-secret stuff. And I'm writing about it. Sorry. I myself am interested in the prayer lives of other people. I've been reading I Told the Mountain to Move and have been helped by entering into Patricia Raybon's memoir of learning how to pray. She's been teaching me about praying with gratitude about answers to prayer before the change happens--praying with great expectation. A mentality of knowing God is good already. So I've liked living in her mind through her prayers over her husband's life-threatening surgery, her struggling daughters, her struggle to love her mom right, and her regret over past abortions. Good stuff.
God is telling me He'll show me His goodness. So I try to climb up through my fears to thank Him in advance. And I keep finding acorns everywhere. They're getting bigger every week.
