10 Day Daniel Fast
A journey of sacrifice and discipline to seek all that God has in store for you October 9th - 18th, 2025.
Love First Christian Center
I believe that the fast will truly change the lives of those who choose to go down this journey with us. This is not for the faint of heart, but for those who are truly seeking all that God has in store for them. Fasting is a sacrifice and a discipline, both of which are keys to success in any area of life. I am asking you to make some sacrifices for the next 10 days (October 8th through 18th), as we thirst and hunger for righteousness.

Preparing for Victory
Daily reflections to guide your spiritual journey

Daniel's Commitment
"But Daniel determined that he would not defile himself by eating the king's food or drinking his wine, so he asked the head of the palace staff to exempt him from the royal diet."
— Daniel 1:8, The Message Bible
Daniel seemed to eat only things planted for harvest and drank only water. You may want to keep it simple and eat only fruits, vegetables and drink only water. Some people feel that it is good to make a permanent lifestyle change to the Daniel Fast. Daniel didn't do his "fast" for a limited amount of time. It was his lifestyle.
