Daniel Diet Fast Blog: Roshanda's Preparation for Daniel Fast

Thank you for the invitation to share encouragement with others who will partake of this very special and personal communion with God. I discovered that during the fast that I needed to remember the purpose, the goal for embarking on the journey, believe me it was a journey for me. I enjoy carbohydrates and coffee, and tea. I would suggest one stops drinking these types of beverages (caffeinated) a few days if not weeks before the fast.

Since I am the home-maker, wife, mother, in a "peaceful home" of different levels of commitment, I needed a constant reminder of "why" the Daniel Fast was, is necessary for my spiritual awakening. I prepare the meals for this household, and my diet was frowned upon, yet preparing food for my family presented a constant temptation.

So I guess you have gathered that my main focus was on the purpose, I know God does not need me to fast, He reminded Daniel that he was heard from the beginning of his supplication, - I need to fast so I remember that God hears me, I need to fast so I am humbled and able to hear God in the midst of daily life. To whom ever reads this, I pray that above all you find strength in Jesus Christ as you pursue the most valuable relationship ever presented to man.

Much love in His name, Jesus Christ,
Roshanda
