prayer and fasting

We spent the day yesterday, as a CU, praying and fasting. Calling on God for Goldsmiths and for each other and listening to what he might say through prayer, meditation and worship. It was emotionally, spiritually and physically exhausting but God spoke and challenged us to the core of our beings and also encouraged our souls with his goodness and grace.

James says 'you do not receive becuase you do not ask' and in Matthew Jesus tells his disciples that if they ask in faith they cna move mountains. Time will tell what yesterday's prayers did and what God birthed in us will show by whether the excitement and challenge stands the test of time. It just made me question, if as God's kids we took prayer more seriously and realised the power it could have would we not be praying and fasting so so much more?
