First Daniel Fast

Something that really helped me was doing a fast with my mom. It's called the DANIEL FAST

My mom actually received the information from church and asked me to do it with her. The church tweaked it and decided to do it for 40 days. The food list was the same. And there was a scripture and meditation points for each day. I LOVED it and I felt so good. There were so many wonderful things that came about during that fast. My relationship with God was strengthened, I lost 16 pounds, I had more energy, I had no digestion problems, I got things done on my to do list that had been there for over 2 years, I learned about myself, I learned discipline with food, I felt healthier, I gained wisdom, I was more giving, I found a church home, my husband was baptized, my temp job was a piece of cake, I made it through a wedding and a holiday while on the fast, and I realized how supportive others could be when you give them the benefit of the doubt.

I would suggest this fast for anyone, it is very healthy and not limiting to how much you can eat. I will be doing it again October 1 with my mother and two of my cousins.

When I saw the food list I KNEW I could not do this. I did not want to even try but my mom persisted and I knew I needed it. And it was not easy. I am a sweetaholic and I love whatever is not good for me. I just prayed and believed and went in head first. And now I can't believe I'm saying this but I'm actually looking forward to doing it again.
