Fasting is not about proving spiritual strength or earning God’s approval. Jesus reminds us that the purpose of fasting is a sincere pursuit of God rather than outward appearance. (Matthew 6:16–18)
The goal is not simply what we give up. The goal is who we turn toward.
FASTING GUIDELINES
Rather than trying to do everything, choose one primary fast for the 21 days.
The best fast is one that creates meaningful space for prayer and spiritual reflection.
FOOD FASTING
Full Fast
Water only for a set period of time.
(i.e. Sunrise to sunset, 24-hour fast)
⸻
Partial Fast (Daniel Fast)
Based on the example found in Daniel 10:2–3, this fast focuses on simple foods (Fruits, vegetables, whole grains, water). Avoid meat, sweets, rich or processed foods
HABIT FASTING
Choose something that normally consumes your attention and intentionally set it aside.
Examples:
• Social media
• Television or streaming
• Gaming
• News consumption
• Non-essential phone use
When you feel the urge to engage that habit, pause and turn that moment into prayer.
