If you cannot fast then..

Have you ever heard… “If you can’t pray, you need to pray more, because something is keeping you from praying.”

Well…

If you can’t fast, you may need to fast all the more—because something is holding power there. 🙏🍽️

For those who are tired of yo-yo dieting, frustrated with food, weight, and health struggles, fasting can be a way to take back control—not by following another diet plan, but by seeking God for what is good for you. ✨

This is our second fast in two months.

Last month, we fasted from solid food, and it helped us stay mindful through the holidays, it was a success for all of us who participated. 🙌

This month’s 21-day fast looks different. Each of us is fasting individually, and what you fast is not as important as why you fast. The heart of this fast is leaning into God and allowing Him to help you through it, for whatever you are seeking Him for. 🤍

This time, alongside our church and maybe yours too, we’re extending the invitation to add mindful eating to your prayers if you’re ready to take control of your food with God’s guidance. ✨

We shared a YouTube video today: Fasting & Praying—Mindful Eating Through 2026.

If you want the link, comment and we’ll send it 📩

We also have simple sweet & savory smoothies 🥤, a digital journal 📓, and a yearly weigh-in log ⚖️ if you’d like support along the way available at link in Bio.

You don’t have to fight this alone…

“Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.”

3 John 1:2

✨ And let God bless your health. ❤️
