RHM is hosting a corporate (group) fast during the month of April. While we normally fast in private, I believe the Lord wants me to invite the Refreshing Hope members to participate with us in a community fast. We plan on doing a Daniel (vegan) fast, but if you have dietary or other restrictions, you can fast in whatever way your health allows. For more information, you can view the blog post here: https://www.refreshinghope.org/blogs/1/3013/intentional-growth

We are having delivery problems with aol.com and yahoo.com subscribers at the moment. Our emails bounce back us, so we can't even email you from here. I have contacted them through their site, but when you submit their crazy long form it goes to a blank white page. I will try again later. I am sorry if you can't receive the devotional using these services. We are working on it: https://senders.yahooinc.com/contact/#sender-support-request

The exhortation in the book of Hebrews to pay attention to Jesus and its warning to not drift away from God's truth is intensifying the urgency I feel in my heart. Personal study and prayer are critical for being prepared and ready for Jesus' return.

I am the resurrection and the life. Whoever believes in Me, though he may die,
yet shall he live.”

I know I’ve been asking this often, but please pray for my son Josh. He is so despondent over this situation at school.

Merry CHRISTmas, Dion, Sylvia and all Refreshing Hope family,
I want to thank you for your devotions; I look forward to each one. I will admit that sometimes I don’t always read every devotion I receive (I’m usually on the go for appointments or what have you…and I don’t read them for being tired…..but, 99.9% I read them. Thank you for being so comforting when I needed it.
This is going to probably be a MAJOR long-shot, but I was wondering if it were possible to get some “financial assistance,” for my husband and I?
As you have previously been told, our checks are FULLY paid before we even get it. After bills are paid, we’re in the hole (sometimes by $30).
We are never invited to family gatherings. We never get to send Christmas cards, gifts to give or receive any. It’s been MANY years since either of us has received a gift. My sister bought us a board game roughly 2-3 years ago.
We have no family to go see or celebrate with. We’re lost and we’re hurting. We will be alone again on Christmas AND New Year’s.
We’re tired of being alone….but we’ve been doing it for more than 30 years.
If possible, would you please help?
In Christ’s Love,
Rachel Rosene

Sylvia ToddAmen, Bella, very glad that the fast was "fruitful" for you!

I don't know if there is a "perfect" fast anyway - we all just do what we can, as He leads us, and as we can handle with our age, circumstances and health. For instance, one of the "better" fasts we did as far as getting a lot of nutrients was fresh juicing. We actually enjoyed it a lot, but really, we had to wrap our lives around it to make enough juice, because it would only be fresh for a short time. We were just not up to making it a lifestyle . less

There is hardly a perfect fast by imperfect people. The Lord understands and rewards our feeble attempts anyway! When you are trying at all, He will work with you and bless you with more. To him that has, more will be given. May you be blessed in every way!
