How to Prepare for a Daniel Fast! | Helpful Tips for a 21-Day Fast

- Опубліковано 16 лип 2024
- Hey friends! In this video, I'm sharing how to prepare for a Daniel Fast. Many of you have reached out to me asking for advice on how to complete a 21 Day Daniel Fast, and I felt like it was important to share some tips on how to first prepare. The Daniel Fast is my favorite fast to do, as of now, because it's challenging yet enriching at the same time!
If you're interested in doing the Daniel Fast, I hope that you will join me on January 8th for 21 days of prayer and fasting. If you aren't interested in doing the Daniel Fast and prefer to fast in a different way, that's fine too!
I think it would be such a fun experience for us to fast together as a community and pray for each other for a full 21 days. As always, thanks for watching!

Fasting for closer relationship with the Holy Spirit, peace, healing, deliverance, my purpose, a job and being able to move out of my mom's house. Count me in.
Wishing you the best during your fast!
Getting closer to God and Health. Doing my first Daniel’s Fast Jan 2024
You've got this Brandon! Expect nothing but the best and deeper intimacy with Christ!
Hey! Mee too...😊
Love it!!
Creating a prayer schedule was the light switch for me and journaling as I fast.
So happy to hear that! It's very impactful!
"You can pray without fasting, but you cannot fast without praying". I think being intentional with a fast is the most important thing about it.
You're so right! intentionality is key!
I am fasting to hear God’s voice clearer, whether I should remain in Atlanta or move back home to Atl, healing my past, my future husband and my solo travel business that I am launching next month. I am excited and believe a lot is going to happen for me in February 1st
I love that and pray that God gives you clarity and favor in His assignments for your life!
Thank you! The why, the prayer scheduler, meal plan and choosing the Bible book will 100% help with me getting started. I started planning my Daniel
fast, but this broke it down perfectly! You’re really great at leading. Thank you! 🙏🏽
I appreciate that!! I'm glad it helped. Thank you so much for watching!
I am fasting starting January 7th (because I had a confirmation from God to do it!). I only fasted once, and yet, I am scared to do it because I didn’t do well the first time. BUT, this is a confirmation from Him through this video! I definitely need to get more closer to God and ask Him to pour into my ministry! Thank you for this video!
Hey my friend! You're so welcome. Just like other spiritual disciplines, fasting is like a muscle that you have to exercise. You might not do it just right the first time or the second time, but you keep practicing. Give yourself some grace and just lean into God. Thank you for watching!
I’m fasting for health, emotional and mental transformation, and financial breakthroughs. What is going to help me is you said meal prep. I never thought of that. Thank you ❤ God bless and I pray everyone here completes their fast and gets that intimate time with Jesus 🙌🏽
Hey Victoria! Those are all great things to fast for and I have full confidence that God will move in your life! I'm excited for us all to fast together!
Hi Amber, you are my sister in Christ and my new UA-cam friend! I am preparing for a fast with my church as well! 2023 is going to be more of the glory of God!! It's our time!! It was hilarious when you said "drive-by prayers!"🤣 I enjoyed this video!
Count me in!!!
Hello again my sweet friend!! I'm so glad you're enjoying the content and I really appreciate the support! I couldn't agree with you more regarding next year. I'm excited to see God move and for the lost to be found. God bless you Angela!
I love it!! So excited!!

@@trinitylacrystal643 Yayyyy!!!!
I am excited to join! Count me in!!!
I did my 1st Daniel fast last month, God was awesome as usual. Initially there was temptations (Meat everywhere) Thank God for being God!
Yessss! Good for you for doubling up lol! And yea, the temptations are reaaaal haha!
😂😂😂💃
Count me in sis, I believe God will answer all our prayers 🙏
Amen sis!! So glad you’re joining in!
Count me in, looking forward to this. Love that you shared very practical steps! Thank you Amber for the ministering you're doing here on UA-cam
Aww thank you so much Crystal. I appreciate your support!
I like how you said that we don’t have to stick to the full 21 days. With never doing the fast before, I may want to start with 5 days to test my dedication.
Yep! Just like anything else, start with baby steps and continue to grow!
Count me in!!! I literally just had the revelation to do this fast so this video is very very timely. I really appreciate you for posting this and being so transparent in your videos!
Yayyyy!!! I'm so happy that you'll be joining us! God had me do this video at just the right time!
All of these tips where helpful! Thank you so much!
Of course my friend!
Count me in! Preparing this week to begin next 🙌🏼
Awesome Carla! I'll be doing the same thing. Gotta prep my menu too!
Thank you so much for this! I was trying to find more information on fasting/how to prepare to fast and this video popped up in my recommended. And it just so happens to be the 21st so it feels a little like a sign. 🥰
Amen!! Love that for you!
Thank you so much for sharing, I'm aware of the Daniel fast, but never looked forward for it like I am now. you have made it easy for me. Complement for the new year 2023 🙏♥️💚
I love to hear that! The first few days can be very challenging for me, but once I adjust, it becomes more manageable.
This came at the perfect time!
To God be the glory! Thank you for watching Sharon!!
Hello Amber! I just found your channel. I am so excited to have guidance on how to fast properly. What stood out to me was when you mentioned writing down what you are believing God for & bringing it before Him over & over. ❤
Hey Patrice!! Welcome to the community! I'm glad you found this video to be helpful. And yes, praying without ceasing is key!
This is so useful..thank you Woman of God for sharing... my sister and I will also be in a 21 days fasting..and we can't wait to see what the Lord has in store for us through this.
I'm so glad you found this to be helpful! I can't wait to witness all that God does in 2023. God bless you and I'm wishing y'all the best as you pray and fast!
Hello there,
Thanks for sharing!!! Our church is on a corporate fast right now. I am inspired
Kimberly, I'm so happy you feel inspired!! Thank you for watching and supporting. Wishing you the best for the duration of your fast!
I’m in!! God knows why❤. I’m so happy I’ve stumbled across your video just in time for this 21 day journey! I’ll be tuning in my UA-cam sister! This entire video has been a blessing …God Bless All!
I love to hear that!! I can't wait to see what God does throughout the course of this fast!
@@amberdmccann ppppp
Thank you for the tips. I DIDN'T HAVE A PRAYER AND BIBLE SCHEDULE. In my fast now , have learnt a lot. God bless you and thanks for sharing.
Yayyyyy!!! I'm happy that made a difference for you. Keep going!!
This was a video that caught my eye and Im sure the Lord was using you to confirm to fast for him, you explained perfectly and this time around im excited to do this for the lord ... Thank you
Awwww I love to hear that girl! You've got this!
When you said that journaling is important because it is documenting uour history. That really hit me, I never thought about it like that. Love this video.
It's a game changer girl! It's therapeutic too. I'm glad you enjoyed the video!
I’m so happy I stumbled across this video. When I first heard about Daniel’s Fast, I watched your testimony! Fast forward, I keep browsing through my different journals and I keep seeing how my goals this year is to conduct a 21 day detox or a 21 day fast. I keep seeing this pattern in my writing so I decided July 1st I’m going to pursue 🙏🏽. Thank you Jesus 🙌🏽
Wishing you the best Bria! I pray that God draws you closer to Him during this intimate time that you have with Him!
Thank you for the great tips! One thing that stood out for me is when you talk about the drive by, check in prayers with God. Like you stated we have to schedule prayer time with God.
It will make a world of difference- I promise!!
Hey Amber! I will be doing the Daniel Fast as well for 14 days with my church starting on January 8th. I’ll be praying for my career and a house. I will definitely need to meal prep because lack of preparation will have me at chick fil a.
Giirrrlllll you are NOT lying lol!!! God provided my family with a new home and a new work opportunities last year when I did this fast. I know He can do the same for you. Be encouraged!
I'll be fasting for the the salvation of my family members..... Thank you, Amber. God bless you.
Marcy, this is a beautiful reason to fast! I pray they come to know Jesus and experience His goodness through salvation. Praying for you and them!
Thank you for this video, very insightful
And thank you for watching!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello Amber, I accidentally stumbled upon your video while searching for Daniel Fast.
I thank God for allowing me to see your video. It made a different impact on me about FASTING and PRAYER.
I have been struggling to be consistent on the plans I have set on my goal to fast for a period of time.
I keep on failing and its disappointing 😓 .
I really lack discipline and mental conditioning. And through watching your video, I have learned a lot about the things I need to do before and during the fasting period.
I am planning and preparing for this plan for next month. And hopefully I can get past half of it. Hehehe.
I'm looking forward to going on with this fast and just making myself more firm and determined on becoming closer to God as I lean to Grace as I do this .
Thank you. God bless you.
Hey Christine! I'm so glad this video was helpful to you. I'm wishing you the best on your fasting journey and I know you will be deeply blessed from it! Thanks for taking the time to watch and share your story. God bless you!
I’m so ready for this!!! I think this time around I’ll simply the meals. So I don’t focus so much on food and meal prep. I would rather spend that time getting my mind together lol
You and me both Bre Bre!!
I’m from New Orleans too. I totally understand
Hahaha!
Count me in !!!!!!!
Love it!
Amèn amèn 🙌🏼🙌🏼♥️…thanks for your guidance . God bless you more ❤
Glory to God! Thank you for supporting!
I’m INNNNN !!! 😊
I love it Leah!!!!
Hello
I'm new to your channel. This information is so on point. You have provided by covering every aspect of the fast, which will be very helpful in being successful. From the actual planning to preparing mentally and getting a menu to setting aside prayer time and journaling, which I love. Thank you for the plethora of info that I believe is going to help me get a breakthrough...in Jesus name.
Please pray with me that I can stick to it, and even if I don't get through it all that God will answer still. Lift up with me my sons, finances , health and mostly peace of mind. Thank you once again, and keep up the good work. You are very encouraging.
Praise God and to Him be the glory! I'm so glad this ministered to you and that you feel equipped to fast successfully! You got this!!
Very informative thank you Jesus I’m preparing for all things Lord God has for me Glory to Jesus !!
Glory to God!
Thank you Amber for this video. I’m starting my Daniel Fast tomorrow and was reviewing videos in preparation and found your channel. I’m faster to have a closer relationship with God, the healing of my eldest child, a positive resolution of a legal matter, and a professional and financial breakthrough. Thank you for the menu tip; I’ll definitely be reusing the same meals throughout the fast ❤
Hey my friend and welcome! I'm happy to hear that you found this video to be resourceful. It sounds like you are heavy burdened, but I want to remind you to surrender every anxious thought, every worry, every concern, and every doubt to the feet of Jesus. As you're fasting I pray that you receive an even deeper understanding of the One you serve. I'm believing by the end of this fast, your perspective will shift and you will no longer see your problems as big, but that you will seem them as small in relation to God. Stand firm in the faith. This battle is not yours to fight alone.
@@amberdmccann Thank you ❤️
I was going to go back to sleep but I felt the Lord telling me to keep watching videos dedicated to finding out more about the Daniel fast. Funny that I was putting off the fast but finally decided on the next week prior to watching your video. Your video encouraged me to find additional ways to go about this particular fast. I'll definitely immerse myself in the word of God and I look forward to fasting with this beautiful community. It's really important to know what my distractions are beforehand to better prepare myself with the armor of God. I've also been looking for a church near me since I've moved out of state so i can strengthen my community as well. New subscriber! Thank you for providing lots of tips and sharing your journey. I, too, am a foodie! I'm jamaican and ooo temptation can be real (I've visited New Orleans and my goodness the food is divine...I get it!) but we CAN do all things through Christ. God bless you and all others embarking on a new journey. God sees our hearts and will never leave us or forsake us. 💕
I love what you said about knowing what your distractions are BEFORE fasting! I'm gonna take that and put it in my back pocket lol That is so profound and it's wisdom speaking! I'm glad you can sense my struggle with food; being that you're Jamaican and have visited New Orleans haha! Thank you for joining the community and I'm humbled in knowing that God is using this channel to equip and empower you!
@@amberdmccann I absolutely love how you take the time to respond to us! 💗 LOL girl and then I'm cooking meals for my daughter, meal planning what I can't eat, the struggle is real...but God strengthens me! He knows our hearts! I know God is using me and although I may have stumbled in my past, I've always found my way back to Him. May your journey continue to be blessed, Amber! Thank you for keeping me motivated to continue in my purpose/assignment. 💜🙏🏾 Let's absolutely continue to pray for one another. We've got this and God's got us!!!
Me too..A weekly menu is for me.
I just started my fast this morning. Iam ending it at 6pm. Iam fasting for my mental health my job ( call center) gives me so much anxiety, and i worry so much. I take anxiety and adhd meds. Plus starting back college st 45 to finish my bachelor degree, new job opportunities, get closer to him. I was reading about it first and looking up resources before actually doing it. I have never done a fast before. I read some Bible scriptures and started crying and telling God/Jesus bout my issues. I been drinking water and ate a few peanuts. I made veggie soup and salad for tonight.
Wow Demetria!! You are killing it girl! I hope this fast provides you with the peace and comfort you need. It sounds like you'll be doing some hard things between now and the future, but remember that God is with you. Allow Him to be your strength and depend totally on Him!
Thank you so much for this guide. I'm gonna follow it for my next Daniel fast. I sell houses too, and I'm fasting that I make my first big sale.
Aww I love that! Real estate is one of the things God has used to change my life. It's crazy.
Count me in!!
Yayyyy!!
I’m starting my Daniel Fast today!
I love that for you! Wishing you all the best my friend!
Count me in!
Let's goo!!
Count me in on the fast my sister .
I love it!!
Count me in ❤
I love it!!!
Count me in ! 😊
I love it! We have 11 days left. It's not too late my friend!
I'm fasting for the deliverance though having diabetes and cardiovascular disease (which deals with my ❤️ heart).
May God heal and protect you!
Me too, how is it going for you? Anyway to connect to be an accountability partner?
I know this is an older video but it still applies. I love the weekly recipe idea. Cut & paste. This fast should be about spending time with the Lord not preparing meals daily. So if I have a plan with My meals then I will not be so focused on food.
OMG YES!!! If the meals become the main focus, then the fast is pointless. Thanks for sharing this!
I’m in however I’ll be starting on the 2nd of January ❤
I love it queen! Starting a little early means you get to finish quicker lol!! How long is the fast you're doing?
I'm so happy I watched your video just in time. I will also be starting my Daniel fast on the 8th of Jan. What a great coincidence. I feel relieved that I'l be doing it with someone as a first timer. Will be looking forward to more videos for accountability's sake
Oh wow! This will be your first time? How cool! This is my favorite fast to do! I'm working on a few different things (that will hopefully be done in time) to help encourage you and others during the fast!
Count me in
Yessss!!!!
Count me in 🤗
Okayyyy Caitlin!! I love it!
Thank you
Always!
Count me in, Amber.
You got this Marcy!!
heyyyyyy sis! I'm starting mine on the 7th :)))) hehehe

Starting Daniel Fast with my church on 1/9/2023
Last year we did Daniel/Jewish Fast sunup and sundown
Reason to re-establish my relationship with the Lord and a minor refilling of His Holy Spirit
2022 long tiring year for me
And kinda got dry with my relationship with tge Lord
Thanks for the advice
Stay bless my sister
You've got this my friend! God promised that He will draw closer to us when we draw closer to Him. That intimacy with Him that you desire is freely yours. Wishing you the best. I know God has you and will honor your desire for righteousness!
Yes count me in
I’ll be joining the fast 08/01/2023
I'm sooo excited!!
Count me in 🎉
Jolie, let's gooo!!!!
@@amberdmccann thank you sis .. pray for me day 2 . I was led to deactivate all my social media. Please pray for me to pass my boards that I have failed 5 times 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
@@jolienambajimana3593 You're so welcome my friend! You should really consider adding your prayer requests to the community post on my page. When you share it there, you'll get a prayer partner who will cover you in prayer throughout the duration of the fast. ( I created it because there's only one of me and I don't have capacity to pray for everyone's individual needs, but I wanted to make sure everyone was being prayed over!) Look for the post titled "Let's Fast Together!
Heyyyy Amber I just subscribed to your page today
Nique!! Welcome to community girl!! Thanks for joining us!
count me in 🙂
Woo hooo!!!
I would love to do the 21 Daniel fast
Yayyyy! We start January 8th!!
What's an example of a menu yall 😅before I start meal planning
Count me in!
Fasting for intake into varsity feb2023🙂
Employment
Can one have more than 1 goal.
Hahaha!! I'm so excited that you'll be joining us! You've got me thinking about creating/sharing a menu guide lol And yes, you can totally have more than one goal!! You can pray and believe God to move in many ways for you!
Joined late, today is my day 2🌸♥️I'm so happy to be committing. And may God move my life
I've always been interested in a Daniel fast to get closer to God but I'm scared I'll fail, so I'm researching as much as I can so thanks for this video! I have tried a fast before and only drank water and no food and felt so sick, I could not do that again. So that's why I'm scared I'll fail.
Research is the key to not failing lol and being prepared. I think I'll do a 5 day fasting and if I can succeed in that I'll increase it to 21 day fasting
You're definitely on the right track! Continue taking baby steps. Maybe you can do a 5 day fast and give up meat, then go from there?!
@@amberdmccann thanks hun, good idea! I've been wanting to cut back on meat
You're welcome! A rule of thumb for fasting is not to allow food to become the main focus or distraction of the fast. So take small steps and continue to cut back on other things during your journey!
@@amberdmccann coffee is going to be really hard for me to stop as I always have one in the morning.
Hi @bonnie what's the farthest you've gone fasting? You can try building up strength gradually if you haven't done so already. E.g from 6 hrs to 10 to 12 to 24hrs etc... You can also extend that to the no of days you continue your fast for . I hope this helps
Im fasting To stay consistent this year and to be disciplined
You and me BOTH!! If we can master those things, we'll be surprised just how much God uses us this year!
1.Strengthen my relationship with God.couz i feel like am far from God.
2. Family breakthrough ( siblings)
3.Prayerfull Life partner
4.God's favor ,mercy and grace.
God can do all the above and even greater things!
Hey Amber.
I'm on my Day 1 of prayer &fasting.
I'm praying to God for
1) Deliverance from addiction & substance abuse.
2) Breakthrough for my family's court case.
3) For me to relocate to USA for my Bachelors degree.
Although it's hard to pray while at work, I have been journalling and studying the Bible.
I pray God will move these mountains and hear my cry!
Hey my friend! I love your decision to be resourceful. I know God will honor that. Happy Fasting!!
I woke up and immediately felt l need this 21 day fast......so count me in sis.....my music has to work
Let's gooo!!
I will have testimonies and I will share with u.. In God I trust
Love it!!
On day 6
Nice!!
Count me in for the 21 day Daniel Fast
Yayyyy!!!!
I'm starting mine on 1/2/2023
Love it!
Hi amber i am praying fora closer walk with god😊
Hey Dorothea! Remember that God promises to draw closer to us when we draw closer to Him. You got this my friend!
Recently I have been feeling a bit far away from God. Someone suggested doing a fast. Have been wanting to do the Daniel fast all year, but have not been able to due to finances. I really want to do it, but will pray for provision in order to join..
Hey Zonia! Don't be discouraged! There have been times where I wasn't able to participate in a Daniel Fast either because let's be real- healthy food is pricey! But you can always do what I did which is fast from certain foods. You can give up sugar, meat, dairy, junk food, caffeine, etc. Definitely pray, like you mentioned, and allow the Holy Spirit to lead you! I hope you'll join us for next month's fast!
@@amberdmccann Just to add to this Zonia. I am feeling led to also fast social media throughout Jan (except content like this on YT of course ;) ), to eliminate some of the things that distract me from engaging more deeply with scripture throughout the day. So yes - allow the Holy Spirit to lead, he knows exactly where you are at
@@amberdmccann thank you so much💖
@@crystalk3421 Big facts!!! Thank you for sharing that Crystal!
@@zoniaherold Anytime! I think the enemy was trying to discourage you and hold you back. I hope you feel better and encouraged now!
I want to fast for deliverance for my family and healing for my body
Go for it!
As it’s a fast, is one not to refrain from food for some time during the day? Like when you go to work, refrain until you come back home and then you have your meal?
Hey Nancy! Thanks for watching! When you eat, how often you eat, and what you eat is totally up to you. Everyone fasts differently!
Hello i have a question? Can i use pea plant proteins non flavor ?
Sure can!
What about using natural dates?
You can have fruit!
I’m trying to fast to hear gods and the holy spirit loudly
That's the best reason to fast!
What happens if the middle of the fast maybe on the 06th day u eat something out of the Daniel fast. Can u continue the following day or u must just stop
Keep going my friend!!!
Does your church have a phone prayer line or a list of scriptures your following during the 2q days
Hey!! We will be having early morning prayer at 6am Monday-Friday and at 9am on Saturday mornings. These will be streamed online and I’ll be providing a link in the coming days!
I would love the link I start tomorrow
Can anyone get on the prayer call. If so, do you mind sharing the info. Thanks
Hey Diamond! My goal is to do a live stream for us. I'll have more details coming about that soon!
Can you share your menu with us? I have a hard time with that.
Hey Gabrielle! That's still on my list of "to-do" but I'll be sure to share once it's complete!
@@amberdmccann Thank you!
Can we have like a once in a week UA-cam or ig prayer section Amber
Hey Sarah! Great idea! I can create a community post for us!!
I am fasting for fertility and growth in my marriage
I love that for you Kariena!
We are on same page. No time to prepare for a 21 days fast.
We've got this!!
Count me in I can't plan For the 21 day
Hey Darla! Are you saying you can fast, but not for the full 21 days? If so, that's totally fine!
@@amberdmccann I am sorry I can fast for 21 days but I can't meal prep for 21 days I am like you have to do it day by day or week by week. Can you post some recipes or a basic grocery list that you buy to prepare for this fast? I am fasting for a closer walk with God for vision and for a job that I have applied for that has been my heart's desire since I was a child.
Count me in does anyone have a menu lol
Hey Natasha! I'm glad you'll be joining in! I'm working on a menu, but it's taking me longer than expected lol I hope to post it at the top of next week!
love your videos but it sounds like you're yelling in every one. should probably invest in a microphone.
It probably sounds like I’m yelling because I am using a microphone! 😂 I’ll take that into consideration next time lol
Count me in Sis🙏🏼
when I saw this video notification , right away I knew it was confirmation from God!🤍 thank you so much for the advice Sis It really is so so helpful.
Johanna, I'm so excited that you're joining in! Yayyy! And yes, it was confirmation indeed!
Count me in! Can you speak on fasting for someone else? I have not heard many videos speak on this and would like to learn and understand more about how this works in a fast and or if this is an intention someone is setting alongside prayer as part of one’s fast. Is this interceding? How does it work, I want to understand this aspect more and be respectful. Thank you. 🤍🕊️
Hey Joe-Lynn! This is a really great question. What you would do is intercede for that person in prayer while you fast. In other words, as you're fasting, continually pray for the person(s) and make your requests known for him/her. We can't fast on behalf of another person (since we are the ones fasting); however, we can fast with the intent to see God move in another person's life. Let me know if this makes sense lol And as always, thank you for watching!
@@amberdmccann Thank you and this was helpful and made a lot of sense.
Count me In!! New Subbie, Glory to God..found your channel, rather led to your channel.
