Good morning,
To be honest, I’ve just begun my fast, and God is already showing me a lot about myself, and my life. I purchased a book, THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO the DANIEL FAST by Kristen Feola, ($4.00 available as a hard back or kindle edition via amazon.com) and it has made all the difference in starting the fast. She outlines a daily devotional that helps sculpt my prayer and bible study, time there are also many recipes available. However, I have not tried them yet; I will provide posts later on regarding the meals. I encourage you to organize your 21 days.What do you want to focus on each week? Day? I organized my prayer and study time into three groups, prayer for family, prayer for others, prayer for self. Taking the time to do this before I fast has helped me discover issues that where important to me that I hadn’t considered. I also journal, writing down my feelings helps me be remain true as to why I am fasting, and how the fast is affecting me. Feola’ s book, mentions to read Isaiah 58 throughout the fast, and I must agree, I learn a different set of lessons each time read it.
How is your fast going? If you have not started yet, do you have any fears, concerns, questions? Please feel free to post your comments, questions, or suggestions.
