I am so excited about the benefits of prayer and fasting... I so desire to grow spiritually and to have a healthy body.

Hi fastwithme,

I am most excited about these things too and i believe that fasting with prayer has been an exceedingly important factor in all the Lord has been doing in my life. 

The longest fast I have completed was about 5 days.

I will be doing a 10 day water only fast starting on Novemeber 26, which is tomorrow, thru December 6.

10 Day Water Only Fast
Start Date: Monday, November 26, 2012
End Date: Thursday, December 6, 2012

I will post daily to track my progress.
Please join me! I would like your support.

It is great to meet another person who desires fasting unto the Lord and to see your plan.   I actually am very close to beginning my next fast under a very strong leading and i pray i will be led into 40 days.   I don't expect mine to start any later than december 1, so i will be joining you for part of yours.  I will be happy to support you in any way i can.

I plan to live a fasted life. This simply means that I will fast often. I have successfully completed 1 day fasts, 3 days fasts and a 5 day fast.
Other fasting goals I have are to complete a 21 day and a 40 day water only fast. I would like to do a 40 day fast once a year.
For now, I will focus on completing my 10 day fast which starts tomorrow.

These are great goals.  I have been living a spiritually fasted life over the past 11 months or so, mostly with 5 days of dry fasting per month (some of them split in two with water in between) and also a 20 day water-only fast which was completed about 2.5 or 3 months ago.   A 40 day fast unto the Lord once a year sounds like an amazing goal and maybe i would seek the same. 

Many blessings.

 Day 1 Check In

Hi there,

So, I just completed 1 of a 10 day water only fast.  I did experience some moments of hunger but I ignored it.

I encouraged my self with prayer, reading, meditating and focusing on God and thinking about what I desire from God.  

I will continue this process.

All the best,

Fastwithme
