5. Adding Roots 2.1.5-9

I was at a certain point, and maybe some of you are at this point; of fasting to comfort your soul in order for you to forgive, accept, and begin loving yourself. During that time and point, I prayed for different things that would pop up in my mind and spirit that I felt needed fixing, because I was lost. You can pray for/meditate about, the direction in the decisions you make: academics, career, spirituality, friends, family and even in the make-up of who you want to become.

What you need to understand is when you are fasting, you need to be 100% not distracted! Keep your focus on the aim of why you are fasting otherwise it really is pointless. You are not going to find that peace if there is always chaos in your ‘home’. I am drawn to the verse of 2 Peter 1:5-9, because it points to me how not to be distracted, and how to be committed and consistent if I set a goal.

“For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love. For, if you possess these qualities in increasing measure, they will keep you from being ineffective and unproductive... ” – 2 Peter 1: 5-9.

This scripture came at the right time for me, and it has been my go-to reminder ever since. My goal during that time was to be a better person for myself. Your goal could be different, but have faith, goodness, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love in what you choose to set as a goal, and you won’t be steered into the wrong direction of your journey. The journey; being to grow in each and every way, and area you would like to grow as an individual, while still protecting your roots grounding you.
