Week 1 Theme: Prayers for Personal Repentance

Read: Psalm 139

Reflect: As you begin your fast today, spend time remembering the One that created you. The temptation as we live our lives is to believe that we got to where we are in life because of our talents, our efforts, our education, and our experiences. But Scripture reminds us that God was in control of your life before you (or anyone else) had any say over it. This truth should humble us and move us to give credit where credit is due. Spend some time praying and thanking God for all the experiences and people that have helped you become who you are—because after all, it was God who has been forming and knitting your life together.
