21-Day Bible Passages & Prayer Guide

“And when you fast, do not look gloomy like the hypocrites, for they disfigure their faces that their fasting may be seen by others. Truly, I say to you, they have received their reward. But when you fast, anoint your head and wash your face, that your fasting may not be seen by others but by your Father who is in secret. And your Father who sees in secret will reward you." - Matthew 6:16-18 ESV


The Daniel Fast isn't just about food. It's also about prayer and meditation. We fast to draw closer to God and to be spiritually strengthened for victorious living. In fasting, we devote special attention to nourishing and developing that part of us that connects with God -- our spirit. Pray, read the Word, and spend quality time in meditation daily. Watch God move in your life.
