I was expecting to be on a six-day fast, but it only turned out being for a few hours.  i wrote this earlier.  This was why i fasted (though I didn't know at the time)

Forgiveness

Lord I come to you only to ask for forgiveness and mercy as I continue this fast.  God I want so much to please you in everything I do, but I continue to fall time and time agani.  Please extend to me your mercy again, oh God.  Wash me, Lord.  Clean me up so I can live as much of a holy lifestyle as I possibly can, because I want to please you, as any adoptedchild would want to do.  God I don't drink, I don't smoke, I don't cuss, I don't go clubbin', and I don't listen to secualr music, but none of that even matters, because there are still things that I do do that need to end so that I can grow closer to you, but I can't seem to stop.  It's times like this that I am greatful for the mercy you show your poeple, otherwise, I would have, and should have been stoned a long time ago.  But you said "No.  I will show Nathan mercy, so he can live for me, and show people that I am indeed a merciful and wonerful God."  God, words cannot express my grattitude for you being who you are as God.  You are kind, merciful, and forgiving.  And I didn't even have to offer a sacrifice to earn it.  You just gave it, just because.  And that's why we call youa  merciful God, simply because you are, and I thank you for it.  THANK YOU!

I feel like this was like why i fasted, just the whole point for God to show me the real extent of his mercy.  i mean it really got me thinking about had Jesus never died. So not long after this was written...  I ended my fast.  But I'm going to fast again soon, maybe saturday, till after church on Sunday, where my fast was going to end originally.
