Pastor is calling for a 21 day fast, just for people to draw closer to God. No particular fast, but they have really been asking we pray about what we are going to fast, not just say "Oh I'll fast xxxx-xxx" without talking to God about it.
So I prayed... and prayed.... and a few days later prayed again... Oh don't get me wrong, God answered, the first time. I just didn't want to listen. Almost as soon as I prayed the Daniel Fast came into my mind. Now the Daniel Fast is very strict, from what I find it is basically vegetables, fruit, beans, and water. (hence why I kept praying, just in case) I'm not perfect, and I don't know if I will be able to follow it perfectly, but there are some things I have been asking God for (begging/asking same difference) and I want to follow up the prayer with fasting, something I should have done long before now. But if I fall, my plan is to get right back up and on the fast, no failure.
My expectations during this time of fasting is to reach a new level with God. I cannot wait to see the changes in my life, even if He doesn't directly answer my prayers. I want to be closer to Him!!
