Can anyone recommend any? I’m looking to implement fasting into my prayer life.

Also, if anyone has a story about how fasting has helped them, please share!

In the book of Daniel, Daniel fasted from all animal products and only ate fruits, veggies, nuts, etc. In March my husband who is just 33 was diagnosed with cancer. In April, he went to MD Anderson to begin treatment. I began a 21 day Daniel fast as a way to focus all of my energy on prayer for the intention of my husband’s healing. When I got hungry, I prayed. When I craved something I love to eat (chips & queso or icecream anyone?!), I would pray that God would fill me and make me love Him more. On May 8th he had surgery to remove the original tumor and some lymph nodes. 10 days later we found out that the cancer had not spread.

Was it a coincidence? Maybe. But I believe in God. God brought us to our knees so that He could use a trial to draw us near to Him. The fast did not change my life. God did, but He used the fast as a tool to do it.
