Since it's Yom Kippur, I'm fasting from food until sundown tomorrow night. I wouldn't normally mention it, except I'm already weak from hunger and I'm not even halfway through!

Please pray for me to be strong in my fast, both physically and mentally. My dad is very cynical about my faith, especially since I've been involved with Messianid Jewish customs for the past few years. I'm praying he won't notice I'm not eating tomorrow.

Thanks so much,
Rachel

A noble cause! I shall pray. Remember, Liquid is your best friend during a fast, drink up.

Thanks, I'll do that. I've already downed about 16 ounces of juice and feel much better. I'm abstaining from milk, soda, and all other liquids except for water, juice, and gatorade.

I will also pray. I'm sure God will bless you with extra strength this week!

Thanks for praying. I drank juice and gatorade the entire day and did very well, although I kept peeking out the window to see if it was sundown yet. :)
