I am fasting because I feel lost in this world and like everything I’m doing is almost failing. I realize that I haven’t being putting God first and it’s been showing.
I'm glad that you have the self-awareness to know why these are the way they are because that's key! I'm excited to hear what God does in your life when you begin putting Him first. I know it's going to be good!
Hi there! Charisse from NY. I literally just came across your page today, while sitting at work searching The Daniel Fast. Originally, I watched it on another CZcamsrs channel and her’s lead me to yours. I want to do this fast because doing this fast feels right and feels like something I need. It may suit me better then anything else I’ve tried doing. I want to be closer to God. I’ve struggled with feeling conflicted in life and in my choices. One minute I’m praying thinking what I am hearing is from God then the next I’m not sure if it was him or my own thoughts. I struggle with where I am in life and if I should really be in this place. I’ve been dissatisfied in a lot of things but praying and asking God for change in specifics feel’s selfish and wrong for some reason. Like a voice in me is saying how could you even dare ask, you are not worthy. I silently suffer mentally because my spirit feels so trapped, like Im being held back from being free. I remember thinking one time, the closest I have ever felt to God was when I was in worst situations in the past. Now, since being brought from those horrible places, I don’t feel as connected as I once did. It’s strange. Im constantly praying and talking to God throughout my day. Giving thanks and bring so grateful. But I still feel unfulfilled, lacking, not satisfied, desperate and still longing for so much more. I need to do this fast but I need strength, endurance and courage.
Hey Charisse! Thank you so much for commenting and opening up like this. I know there are others who understand where you're coming from; including myself. Those negative thoughts you're hearing and the questioning of your worth is definitely the enemy lying to you. We are supposed to bring our prayers and petitions to the throne of Grace and God will answer them according to His Will. It's very rare that I ask God for what I want, but I'm always prayerful about what my needs and the needs of others. Often times, it's in the midst of our suffering that we do feel closest to God. That's very normal. Years ago, my mom told me not to allow my relationship with God to be based upon or determined by how I "feel," and I want to challenge you with the same thing. There are times when I don't "feel" close to my husband or to one of my friends, but that doesn't mean they aren't there; and with God it's no different. How I personally maintain closeness to God is reading my Bible everyday. His Word is a reinforcement of His character, His nature, and His attributes. Scripture reminds me of His promises, my purposes, and His love for me. As you fast, I pray that you will go to a deeper place with God that you have never been before. May your spirit be enriched with His Word and may you be given the fullness that your spirit desires. Strength, endurance, and courage can all be given to you through Christ. All you have to do is ask, my friend. Be encouraged!
Yes! You put into words so many of my own feelings. I'm fasting now and still struggling. It shouldn't be this hard is my thought but maybe I just need to work harder, but is that really how it works. .. it's hard Charisse. I feel you. I'm not giving up!!!
This was really good content. I know the Lord is calling me to fast and I'm praying I will be able to push past my flesh because I love eating (just being honest). I"m going to prepare and get to fasting. Thank you for sharing; blessings
There are grounds for it. The bible mentions fasting and praying together. But just fasting in its own. Thank you for your videos. God bless you and the work of your hands
Hello Amber, God is so Amazing. I watched one of your videos last night and as I finished praying with my Dad I just found this one. I really enjoy your content so I have subscribed. I am currently fasting and I won’t speak much about that because I plan to share it on my channel later but; I wanted to say I believe you did an excellent job at explaining fasting. Throughout my fast I am studying the book of Proverbs and seeking God for more Wisdom and Discernment. I am praying and fasting for personal reasons and also my Mother as she has just gone through a major heart surgery. I believe your video has shed a lot of light on fasting and will certainly be a great point of reference for anyone who may feel intimidated about fasting. There are two fast you mentioned that I knew nothing about. These were the last two. I have heard of the last one but didn’t know it’s name. Thank you kindly for allowing God to use you in sharing vital Christian tools to prosper in this journey. I pray that the Lord may continue to use you and strengthen you to keep up the God work. You are simply amazing!!!! Also I read the first comment by Charisse and my heart was bleeding as I was reading it. I was so happy she risked the vulnerability to open up because the Godly counsel you provided her is exactly what I would have said in my own words. The devil is deceiving so many with feelings but this entire walk is a “faith” walk and this is fundamental to our Christian walk. Sorry for the long message but I had to give you your due praise for an amazing job at explaining fasting. Take care
Hey Annie!! Gosh, I just really appreciate your words of affirmation and encouragement. I'm sure you know, as a fellow Christian CZcamsr, that there's a lot of things we battle. When I recorded this video, I was so afraid. Afraid of saying the wrong thing. Afraid of sharing too little information. Afraid that I wasn't really that knowledgeable. But reading your comment here has really motivated and comforted me. I appreciate you taking the time to express these words. I pray that God will provide all that you need and are seeking Him for, according to His perfect plan. God bless you my sister!
Hi new my church are fasting for the youth and for my son and daughter for them to get closer to god I will be fasting tomorrow Friday godbless and gnit
Thank you pretty Lady!! Omg! I believe you nailed it. Very good information. This is actually a very good month to start a fast because of the hebrew calendar 5782. New Year. I'm learning more about Jewish New Year. Thank you. God bless
Thank you Lawanda!! This comment really blessed me because I didn't like how this video turned out and thought it could've been better. I appreciate you!
Thank you for sharing this information, if I started fasting today I would ask for my daughter to come back to God, and my husband to open his heart, as he is catholic. Us to be debt free and some other things.
Thank you for the options . The Daniel Fast not only sounds beneficial for your spirit but also your health. Looking forward to trying it. Could you drink fruit smoothies with the Daniel fast ?
Hey friend! Yes, I definitely agree that this fast benefits us spiritually and physically. I personally drink fruit smoothies during the Daniel Fast, but I avoid any added sugar and use milk alternatives!
I’m on my spiritual journey and I’m just learning to fast Is there a certain time of day/ hrs? Can you not watch tv or ? Do we pray how many times a day? Or do we read the scriptures.. I’m confused I’m praying for financial stability and daughter
Hey! Fasts are totally customizable and up to you. You determine what foods and activities to avoid; how long the fast will be, and how often you would like to pray. I definitely suggest reading the Bible as much as you can while fasting!
Hi Amber, did you just eat fruits, vegetables, and nuts? Is oatmeal ok to eat? Did you eat throughout the day during your fast or did you wait until evening to eat?
Thanks for this video . I used to fast one day a week for 4 or 6 hours. But now it is becoming difficult for me to do it. Cause I feel weak and tired for no reason. Sometimes I keep sleeping during the hour fast and I can pray like I used to. Can yon give me some advice?
Sounds like you need to grow closer to God again, so that you can have the motivation to fast and pray. Also, your fatigue might be related to spiritual warfare and/or your diet. Consuming a lot of processed foods, sugar, and caffeine can definitely make you sluggish as well!
Hey girl! There’s a variety of fasts you can do, so my answer is yes. Maybe give up caffeine, sugar, and/or dairy, for example. You can definitely get creative! 😊
I’m 31, I legit only weigh 100lbs (I’ve been super tiny my entire though btw) but I’m actually scared to do a long fast because I don’t want to lose any more weight, how can I work my way into? Any suggestions??
Hey girl! You and I are the same age and the same weight lol I suggest consulting with your doctor just to be safe. A vegetarian diet might be better for you to start with though. Or you can fast different things on different days too!
@@amberdmccann I was asking is it good to eat before I open my fastin at 6am cos am breastfeeding a 1yr baby and I don't have an condition with my body .....that was my question madam amber
I don't have a set time! The length of my prayers depends on what I want to talk to God about, who I'm praying for, and what I'm praying for. I talk to God like I would a person.
@@parisn6624 Oh ok! I begin prayer by worshipping God for who He is and what He’s done. Then I pray for forgiveness of sins. After that, I pray for others and then my own personal requests. After that, I pray for God’s will over my life and others. Then I thank Him once again for who He is. I hope this helps!
God values our health ,our body is our temple I’m sure he wouldn’t want you to further damage your health, you can try fasting from processed foods etc but go to the Holy Spirit and ask
I would fast just to get a clear vision and understanding of the next chapter of my life. Great video by the way took notes and I’ll let you know how my fast goes! 🫶🏾

Hey Mariah! The Esther Fast would be the same as the "Absolute Fast" (which is no consumption of food and water). Thanks for watching!

Hey Beatrice! I personally agree with the comment above. I also suggest that you reach out to your primary doctor and seek professional advice!
Hi Amber, should a person stay away from sex when fasting? All types of fasting except for the sexual which is obvious.
Hey! I think that's up to the individual.
I would fast just to get a clear vision and understanding of the next chapter of my life.
Great video by the way took notes and I’ll let you know how my fast goes! 🫶🏾
Hey Tyana! I love that. I'm glad you took some notes and I look forward to hearing back from you!
