Thank you for sharing this! I plan on doing the Daniel’s Fast eventually, but FIRST, I am fasting from carbs & sugars because they have come
to be my biggest addiction and make up most of my diet. I am fasting & praying for my children to walk in who they are called to be, who they were CREATED TO BE by God. I am praying against worldly influences and against the enemy who wants to steal, kill & destroy their destinies. Our God has a plan for their lives. He wants to prosper them. I pray that they will WALK in this TRUTH & let their light shine amongst men.

I want to do this fast but I’m fasting from Chocolate one of my big addictions. I’m wanting to grow more with and in Christ but I always feel like I’m not enough for Him.
