I am excited for this week! We have Stake Conference this week and Elder Clayton, a General Authority, will be coming to speak. It will be blessing to be able to hear from him and apply the things that he teaches.
I have thought this past week a lot about the importance of fasting. To prepare I thought of how fasting will not only bless me but others.
It explains in Gospel Principles
When we fast wisely and prayerfully, we develop our faith. With that faith we will have greater spiritual power. For example, Alma (a Book of Mormon prophet) tells the story of meeting again with the sons of Mosiah many years after their miraculous conversion. He felt great joy when he learned that they had strengthened their faith and had developed great spiritual power. They had gained this power because “they had given themselves to much prayer, and fasting; therefore they had the spirit of prophecy, and the spirit of revelation”
As we fast, we will receive the strength that we need for whatever lies ahead. The Lord will bless us and help us to feel a greater joy!
