I’d been feeling a growing sense of disconnection from God, and my life was starting to reflect it. Despite my best efforts, I couldn’t shake the feeling of emptiness and discontent. This sense of disconnection led me to take a radical step…

So, I decided to fast for 7 days, seeking a deeper connection with God and a renewed sense of purpose. Little did I know, this journey would challenge me in ways I never expected…

As I embarked on this journey, I realized that sometimes it takes a little bit of hunger to realize what you’re truly craving. For me, that was a closer relationship with Jesus. But I didn’t realize it until I found myself in the midst of chaos, searching for a lifeline. That’s when I heard the whisper of the Holy Spirit, nudging me towards a 7-day fast.

In a world where satisfaction is just a bite away, I chose to find fulfillment in a different kind of feast – one that would satisfy my deepest hunger and bring me closer to God. This decision marked a turning point in my journey…

Today marks day 7 of 7 of my fast. Yup. I finally did it. After ignoring the feeling since Good Friday earlier this year, I finally decided to listen to the voice of the Holy Spirit telling me to do a 7-day fast. I didn’t want to do it, but I knew I needed to. Looking back…

If you know me personally, you’ll know how much I love food. It’s my coping mechanism, and I get upset when I don’t get good food. However, this fast wasn’t about food – it was about reconnecting with God. This realization helped me stay focused…

Why now? I felt like my life was spiraling outta control. Nothing had changed, but life just felt different. Probably because of how distant I was from Jesus. I got distracted, and things that used to make me happy didn’t hit the same. I was tired, irritable, and stressed. But then I remembered…

It was spiritual, and I knew I needed to take drastic measures to reconnect with God. As Jesus said in Matthew 17:21, ‘This kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting.’ There are some demons that only leave through prayer and fasting. With this in mind…

As I close this chapter of my 7-day fast, I’m reminded that true fulfillment and satisfaction come from a deeper connection with God. This journey has taught me valuable lessons about perseverance, faith, and the importance of seeking God in the midst of chaos. I’m excited to share more about what I’ve learned and how it has transformed my relationship with God in my next post.
