Daniel Fast for the New Year! Starting January 2, 2013

[stephluv]

Sooo yesterday was Day 1: I spent soo much time trying to figure out what I can eat that I felt like I was more focused on the food then on praying smh

Today seems alot better as last night I just prayed my steps would be guided during this fast....i read 2 chapters today since I only read a few verses yesterday and I also have been praying more today so I just feel better in general

I've fasted before(partial fast) and I can remember 3 significant moments in my life that fasting definitely blessed me...I dont want to focus on the benefits of fasting as i've been doing these last few times because I feel like I didnt get anything out of it...so this time i'm focusing on a spiritual transformation and putting my attention on God...this will be a new experience for me so i'm excited for this new challenge

Sorry for the vent- just have a lot of emotions right now Have a good day ladies

You are going to do just fine...your heart is where it is suppose to be

Check out the list of different foods and go with that.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

My advice: Don't buy too many fruits and veggies! The first 2 days you want to eat everything you see, but after that...you really don't get too hungry, so you don't want to waste anything. Oh, use your spices!!! Last night I had a nice size Sweet Potato with sprinkled cinnamon and nutmeg...it was so delicious and filling. I didn't eat anything else after that.

I say...purchase 3 days of fruit/veggies at a time. Plan a meal like: Vegetable soup, guacamole, beans w/jasmine whole grain brown rice, oatmeal with fruit, bananas and peanut butter, have a salad for breakfast...doesn't have to be just fruit, get a juicer and juice your fruits and veggies.

Today for dinner I'm going to have Pinto Beans over Jasmine whole grain brown rice with unsweetened organic apple sauce for dessert. I will take a picture later. If I get hungry later, I have some sunflower seeds to munch on.

 

[Nice & Wavy]

My dinner...I eat at 4pm daily.

Vegetarian Pinto Beans with Jasmine Whole Grain Brown Rice seasoned with homemade sofrito, diced tomatos (I cooked with rice) a little curry and sea salt.

Hi ladies
I've been in a bad place spiritually for a couple of years and for the past several months i've been struggling with doubts about christianity and the nature of the God of the bible.
i haven't been to church in ages, and struggle to pray because of my doubts/questions but i still feel strongly called to do this. I started my fast on the 2nd.

I'm giving up meat, bread, sugar, all drinks except water, smoking (i'm a light smoker, about two/three cigarettes a week) and physical intimacy for the duration.

My diet still includes boiled eggs, plain yoghurt and honey, and these are the only animal products i intend to consume while on this fast.

I really dont know what i'm doing, but today i felt an urge/push to do a complete fast on days 7, 14 and 21. Hopefully i'll manage.

I am praying for spiritual quickening/renewal and for the darkness in my heart/spirit to be cleansed.
If anyone has any tips or suggestions i welcome pms.
Thank you to all the ladies who have posted in this thread so far.

[WhipEffectz1]

that looks delicious. Please share everything you have on your plate...yum!

This is my first time doing this type of fast. I've only done a water fast in the past which increases your prayer life and gives you clarity spiritually moreso than if you don't fast. I have literally seen life changes taken place when I fast...not only for myself, but for all those I had prayed for during the fast.

I have broccoli, sugar snap peas, green beans, carrots, celery, water chesnuts, onion and red peppers!. Yummy!!!

Thank you to all the ladies who have posted in this thread so far.

If I remember correctly, you and I have pretty much the same thought process & feelings about Christianity and religion in general...I started going to chruch 2 months ago and feel really good about it. I think theres a reason why you feel moved to participate in the fast, God has something to tell you
You can pm me anytime!

.

I eat more veggies as time goes on. I'm such a spectacle when I go to the store or farmers market. People just be looking at all those colorful vegetables. I also try not to eat too much of the sugary fruits like bananas. I use them mostly in my smoothies. I tend to eat the berries the most and apples when I get really hungry (fiber).

So I tend to buy food 1-2 times a week just to make sure I don't waste. What I realize from doing this year after year is that I try to get too fancy with recipes then my grocery bill goes up. After the first week, I keep it simple with vegetables, few fruits and legumes. It works out for me every time! I also tend to go about 1-2 months after the fast without eating too dirty. #Awesome!

 

[MSee]

I'm glad you aren't going to do sugar/meat/bread because I don't even miss it...it's amazing how the Lord just took my taste for it away.

Good for you.

Already tempted tonight when I made post Christmas sorrel drink for the family. That thing cannot be drunk without sugar, yeeeek.

Actually the only 2 things on the list that I want to keep using are eggs and milk (I use goat milk) because I've been on a regimen to strengthen my teeth and eggnog is recommended. Although the thought of drinking it without honey or molasses has kept me away so far .

Just letting you know I have prayed for you and will pray that God gives you what you requested, understanding, that you may know His deep love and come to the knowledge of His will for you.

Keep praying and be open and real with Him like you have been in your post. Be forewarned however, that you may have to push through things or temptations assigned by the devil to stop the good thing you have purposed to do.

AyannaDivine and MSee thank you

When i pray (which is hard because of my lack of understanding of the concept of prayer, but that's a different thread), i sometimes drift off into asking for things - a better job, more money etc but i know this is not right for me right now because my prayers get confused and jumbled-up. However, when i pray for other people i'm coherent, lucid, same as when i pray for a 'fixing' of my spiritual walk, which tells me that i am on the right track as far as prayer goes.

I need some place to vent/share and i'm grateful for this thread. I hope anyone who thinks i'm oversharing can understand where i'm coming from.

 

[Iwanthealthyhair67]

Nope I can't imagine having it without sugar it would taste like spicy medicine, lol....I've got some in the refrigerator right now had one of my church sisters make some for me I've got a huge bottle think I will share...

Good for you.

I also tend to go about 1-2 months after the fast without eating too dirty.

WhipEffectz1- so far i've been enjoying exploring new meals (just had wheat penne pasta w/ tomatoe and broccoli #amazing) So today i said i might have to go a little bit longer with this clean eating

Stephluv, I read that wheat may contain some sugars in it, so try to get whole grain instead.

The Lord is speaking to your heart and the great part about all of this is that you are hearing His voice! This is exciting!

Be obedient....the Lord wants to break some strongholds that are in your life and reveal somethings for you in the future. What He speaks, write it down and don't share it with anyone...just ponder on His Word.

I will be praying for you and if you would like to talk further, please pm me. God bless you, sis

Today was day 3 for me, and so far so good. My best friend came over with a fruitcake, which is my favourite and i had to politely decline. It wasn't nearly as hard as i thought it would be, and i'm grateful for that because self-denial is not my strongpoint. [In my defence, i'm an 80s baby - instant gratification is what defines us: that's my story and i'm sticking to it ]

I have a couple of questions and i hope i'll get answers:
1.does quantity matter on this fast? I read a website (cant remember which) giving guidelines for a daniel fast and it seemed to imply that what you ate was important, not how much. As i re-start my christian walk i dont want to become legalistic, but i also dont want to be in the wrong due to misinformation.
Are you ladies exercising portion control or just eating normally, minus the 'rich' foods and meats etc?
Does quantity matter or is the foregoing of certain foods the only required sacrifice for this fast?

I also shared yesterday that i'll be *attempting* full fasts on days 7, 14 and 21 (jan 8, 15 and 22). so my 2nd q is:
2. Is a full/complete fast 24 hours without food, OR do you still break fast at sunset with small quantities ? To clarify: if i'm doing a full fast on 8jan, does that mean no food the whole of 8jan (midnight to midnight) or no food from supper 7jan until supper 8jan?
Obviously i cant break fast at midnight so in the midnight to midnight scenario it would be no food from supper 7jan until the morning meal on 9jan. Hope that makes sense.
Looking forward to your responses ladies

Thanks in advance.
(Please forgive my long posts)

As i re-start my christian walk i dont want to become legalistic, but i also dont want to be in the wrong due to misinformation. I think so...both are important, but as the days go by, the less you feel like eating.
Are you ladies exercising portion control or just eating normally, minus the 'rich' foods and meats etc?I'm watching my portions but I'm eating more times in the day..so instead of 3 meals, I'm eating 6 small meals with maybe 1 or 2 snacks in between.
Does quantity matter or is the foregoing of certain foods the only required sacrifice for this fast?I think its important for you to get the best foods to be in your system as you fast. Organic is better, but if you are not able to get organic, pick the best that you can and make sure to wash everything thoroughly.

I also shared yesterday that i'll be *attempting* full fasts on days 7, 14 and 21 (jan 8, 15 and 22). so my 2nd q is:

A full fast consists of you not having anything other than water for the entire 24 hours that day, so whatever that 24 hours is for you, then do it, but stick to it.

Hi Everyone,

I was out of town for the holidays so I didn't start the fast on the 2nd. I didn't think it was wise to do so while traveling, so I'm starting tomorrow, Jan. 6th. I've followed some of the advice here and started a pre-fast yesterday with no meat, no sugar and no bread. Needless to say I was a very cranky person yesterday. I definitely see the point of pre-fasting now. I need to get this crankiness out my system.

Anyway, I know this fast won't be easy but I also know that my God is faithful. I have a list of things up before Him and I have no doubt that He will be talking to me about all of the items during this fast. One of things I'm praying for is boldness. God has been showing me some of His vision for my life but I've been holding back because of fear. I need a big dose of boldness to move forward and do as God has told me to do.

I'm so glad for this thread. I will be praying for everyone in it and please do the same for me.

Also Nice & Wavy thanks for posting this...

I'm watching my portions but I'm eating more times in the day..so instead of 3 meals, I'm eating 6 small meals with maybe 1 or 2 snacks in between.

Yesterday, I felt like I was constantly hungry. Without meat my portions are much smaller so I was wondering how can I sustain 21 days like this but then I read your post and it made so much sense. Since we're eating smaller portions we should eat more meals. Thank you for your wisdom!

Almost the end of day 4 for me. Thank god. I've officially fell into a routine now. I'm having to turn down a lot of offers to go out and about....but I don't think that's a bad thing. Here's a soup I was fed the other night. Lentil and Carrot soup.They used vegetable broth because I am fasting. Bless their hearts!
