That's a good habit I'm practicing and to maintain it. Not only for the 40days of my fasting prayer.
Letting God's Love Overcome Past Hurt
Early in our marriage, Dave and I had some rough years, and a lot of it was because I needed God to heal me from my past of being abused sexually, emotionally and verbally by my dad. Through a lot of tears and difficult moments of choosing to forgive instead of getting revenge, God brought me through, and He's also used my testimony to bring healing to the lives of others. When God heals you of past hurt, He not only wants to help you, but He also wants your experience to be a gateway through which others can experience the same healing.
Eventually, I came to a point where God led me and Dave to move my parents to St. Louis and even buy them a home, which was very difficult for me. But my dad ended up apologizing to me for all he had done and even received Christ into his life.
I experienced a whole new level of emotional health because I let God heal me through the power of forgiveness, and allowed Him to use my restoration to help heal my dad.
You know, we can all hurt in a lot of different ways. Loneliness, disappointment, rejection, fear and insecurity all have the ability to hurt us deeply. I couldn't move beyond the hurt from my past until I received and experienced the love of God and allowed Him to turn it all around.
Before you can move beyond your pain and learn to love and forgive others, you have to experience God's love.
When dealing with your past, remember that God loves you deeply. The Bible says that we are only complete when we experience the love of Christ, which is so great you could never fully understand it. As you receive His love, healing will begin in your heart and you will be made complete with the fullness of His life.
Prayer Starter: Lord, I believe You can help me overcome the hurt and pain of my past and use my healing to help others. Help me to experience the love of Christ and make me complete with all the fullness of Your life and power.

My response:
I know my hurt and pain of my past that been healed can be a great testimony to the others. I know you have make me complete with all the fullness of my life and power. Thank God.
That's quite disappointed when I'm getting to know my bro Darren was not replying the text from me when I'm asking him to attend the Sunday service. I'm... So sorry that I couldn't follow up on him. Physically or mentally I have let it go... But will still pray for him :)
PRAISING GOD IN PRAYER
TALKING TO GOD
Praise God for making you and everything you have, including food, a home and people who love you.
DIVING IN
Think about the things you're grateful for. Make a list of 10 of them. Tell someone why you're grateful for each, and praise God for all that He has given you.
GOING DEEPER
Through the use of short blessing prayers that relate to everyday life, people learn to praise God and express thanksgiving. The moment you open your eyes in the morning, you might pray, "Thank You, God, for my eyes. Thank You for sight." While getting dressed, you could pray, "Thank You, God, for meeting my needs — giving me clothes to wear, such as these," and at the first sight of the sun, you may declare, "God, You are so great! Thank You for your creation." Psalm 145:1-2 is a great example of how to praise God: "I will exalt you, my God the King; I will praise your name for ever and ever. Every day I will praise you and extol your name for ever and ever." Praise God today and every day!
TALKING TO EACH OTHER
- How did writing down a list of things you're grateful for change your attitude?

More cheerful
More generous
More hardworking...
- If you praised God for everything He has given you, how long would it take?

That's quite long... God has blessed me such a long list of things...
- How might praising God change you?

That's make me realize how much were the blessing and praise Lord...?
