"Pastor, I'm fasting." That statement did not bring the response I expected.
He said, "Why are you fasting?"

I had a quick response. "Because you asked the church to fast this week."

He said something that was simple but profound. "When you fast, it is good to have a purpose for your fast!"

This book was written to assist you with discovering your purpose for fasting and praying. The Daniel Fast Prayer Guide has a weekly and a daily prayer emphasis. These brief suggestions will help you grow in your prayer life. They are designed to be a small part of your daily prayer, serving as a source of inspiration to assist you with the Daniel Fast.
