Hi, I'm glad you reached out. Here are some thoughts on your questions:
1. **Academic Excellence and Putting God First**: It's wonderful that you want to excel academically while keeping God at the center of your life. You can start by setting aside time each day for prayer and reflection, asking God for wisdom and guidance in your studies. Remember, God values a heart that seeks Him above all else. Proverbs 3:5-6 encourages us to trust in the Lord with all our heart and not lean on our own understanding. This can be a guiding principle as you navigate your academic journey.
2. **Fasting as a Woman**: Fasting is a spiritual discipline that is not limited by gender. In fact, the Bible provides examples of women who fasted, such as Esther (Esther 4:16) and Anna the prophetess (Luke 2:36-37). Fasting is about seeking God's presence and guidance, and it can be a powerful way to deepen your relationship with Him. If you're unsure about how to start, consider beginning with a short fast, like skipping a meal, and use that time for prayer and reflection.
Remember, God is always with you, and He desires to be the center of your life. Feel free to reach out to a spiritual mentor or counselor for more personalized guidance.
