My mother has had some problems with her health lately and I am fasting to see a breakthrough in her situation, and God being God, used this period of fasting to make me reflect upon myself.

One thing that God spoke to me was -- my lasting ability to fast when I am praying for someone so dear to my heart; compared to times when I am fasting for things of God. Sometimes when I am fasting for things of God, I give up on my fast halfway.

What does this show?

Hmmm...Do I love other things/people more than my God, my Father?

"Dear Lord, forgive me for loving other things/people more than you. Align my heart to yours once again, that I may desire and experience more of you and learn to love you more than anything/anyone else."
