When the Lord prompted me to do a phone fast I was a little hesitant. I wasn’t sure that it could be done for as long as I wanted considering the different ways my phone has been helpful.

However, I knew that the lord was prompting me to do this and that it was being a distraction in my walk with the Lord. So here are the 5 big takeaways during that time:

1. It’s okay to not be available to every single person at the drop of a dime.  The Lord wants me to be present with Him and where He has me. 
2. It’s okay to depend on others in a healthy way. The two weeks I had to rely on my team to get me everywhere or only go to places I knew how to get back from. 
3. The Lord is so faithful. There were several things that I was praying through during my time and received so many answers. He literally answered a prayer before I even said Amen (that’s another story I will tell later) 
4. My identity is in Christ ultimately. This has been a longer lesson He has been walking me through but that my relationships with people and what I can provide to people is NOT my identity. That I am a beloved daughter of the almighty king. 
5. Technology is a blessing and when used wisely can really be a good thing. From taking pictures to my daily Bible reading and connecting with fellow travelers or missionaries, phones can be used as a blessing. 

The Lord taught me so many things but these are some of the biggest lessons I learned. I encourage you all to take a look at the technology use in your lives and pray on utilizing it wisely. Be present where the Lord has you and know that He is enough. He sustains and loves you just as you are.
