When You Start a Fast

DAY 5 OF 5

Fasting isn’t just about starting strong—it’s about finishing well. There will be moments when you feel weak or want to quit, but have faith that God’s grace will sustain you.

Remember, some of the greatest spiritual breakthroughs come after your hardest moments. In the Bible, Daniel fasted for 21 days before receiving an angelic visitation (Daniel 10:2-14). Jesus fasted for 40 days before beginning His ministry (Luke 4:1-14). Many men and women of God have endured hardship during fasting, but their perseverance led to supernatural encounters with God.

If you are struggling, don’t give up. Press in, rely on God’s strength, and finish the fast with expectation. While perseverance is required, you must learn to come to the end of yourself and lean on His grace to finish the fast.

Challenge: If you feel like quitting, ask God for strength and finish your fast with faith and expectancy.

Let's Pray:
Father, I know I cannot finish this fast in my own strength—I need Your grace. Help me push through challenges, knowing that my breakthrough is coming. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

I pray this encouraged you during your fast. You can find more of my free content here.
