Conquering the Fast Day 1 of 7

I have never been able to fast, I just never understood it, and the times I've tried I woke up saying I would, and somewhere throughout the day I just decided it was over when i got hungry. I did a Daniel's fast with my church when I first started with Awakenings Movement, but I treated it like a diet and it was not a fast considering it was superficial. Plus I broke it once throughout the two week process. So I realized that I completely am lacking discipline in my life and thus I must conquer fasting.

I'm no longer a baby, i'm not on the spiritual milk, I'm delivered beyond the notion of pleasing God just because I pray every night and consider myself to be more aware of my choices and I serve in the community. No, God is now delivering me in my regular day to day life. He is working on my discipline of food, finances, and the way I ask for guidance. Where I used to just say prayers and talk to God in the car, he wants me to humbly come to him with fasting, and devotionals and intentional prayer. He wants me to tithe my finances and my time. God wants me to grow up.

Today God has revealed a few things to me:
1. I am not intentional with my eating or spending habits, I am completely out of control.
2. That bubble into the fact that I am not discplined with my writing because I don;t journal daily either.
3. I lack discipline all together in all areas of my life.
