Fasting & Prayer for Our Children (Generations of Faith, December 13, 2017)

12/14/2017

Jesus wants to lift our burdens.  Our children carry a heavy burden:  in spite of material abundance and unlimited entertainment options, they experience more depression and sadness than preceding generations.  Dr. Jean Twenge documents this in her book iGen.

What's the solution?  The one we find throughout the Bible:  fasting and prayer.  In this presentation I describe my own rediscovery of fasting and I invite you to join me in prayer and fasting one day before Christmas and to begin the New Year with a three day fast.  Some books I found helpful are;

Fasting by Jentezen Franklin
Toxic Relief by Don Colbert, MD
The Sacred Art of Fasting by Thomas Ryan, CSP
Fasting for Breakthrough and Deliverance by John Eckhardt
Spirituality of Fasting by Msgr. Charles Murphy

***********

Jesus quiere levantar nuestras cargas.  Nuestros niños llevan una carga pesada:  a pesar de abundancia material y opciones sin límite de diversión, experimentan más depresión y tristeza que generaciones anteriores.  La Dra. Jean Twenge lo documenta en su libro iGen.

¿Cuál es la solución?  Es lo que encontramos por toda la Biblia:  ayuno y oración.  En esta presentación describo mi re-descubrimiento del ayuno y te invito unirte conmigo en oración y ayuno un día antes de Navidad y comenzar el Año Nuevo con un ayuno de tres días.  Arriba hay libros que me ayudaron.  Los de Franklin, Colbert y Eckhardt están en español.  Si conoces un buen libro católico en español, avísame.
