Still alive.

Excited.

Never been so eager to hear.

My first few days of fasting before was all about food-reduction, attending church meetings and being with friends (even sometimes cheating and lying about the kind of fast i do just to project good image).  But as years progress and more understanding comes, i realize it has to do with God and what He wants to say.

I remember those days I struggle trying to pray and stretch my words to prolong my praying time.  I kept talking.  I kept writting... Thinking its all about me and how i reach out to Him.

But the truth is... Its all about his reach, his voice and his purposes.  I remembered this verse:  Isa. 59:1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear.

God is able to speak.  Be confident to hear.  Allow Him (period).

Prayer through the years
I can't forget the formula for prayer A-C-T-S. (Adoration-Conffession-Thanksgiving- Supplication).  But I really had a hard time using this.  Adoration pa lang... Pagod na ako... I realized that this formula can't completely make a good prayer life. Prayer can't be reduced to a formula.  Now I am learning... Its all about relationships.  Instead, its just hanging out with God that makes me stay in and press in prayer.

Let's remember, Hang out with God.  Instead of just using A-C-T-S --- do CHATS!

He is your father.  He is your best friend.
