Facing Doubts About My Fasting Journey
Hi Pastor Grace, my name is Jordan, and I’m reaching out for prayer. I’ve been trying to start a fasting discipline to help me grow spiritually, but I keep facing doubts and distractions. I often question if it’s really helping me. My mind is filled with doubts about whether I’m doing it right or if I should even be fasting at all. It’s frustrating because I know people who have experienced breakthroughs through fasting, but I can’t seem to find that same clarity. Please pray that I would overcome these doubts and trust God more in this process. I want my fasting to be meaningful and effective. Thank you.

Dear Jordan, thank you for reaching out and sharing your heart. It’s natural to have doubts as you embark on a new spiritual discipline. Remember that fasting is a personal journey, and God sees your heart and intentions. In Romans 8:38, we are reminded that nothing can separate us from the love of God, and that includes our doubts. Trust that God is working in you even when you can’t see it. As you fast, focus on what you can learn from the experience and the time you spend in prayer and reflection. In James 1:5, we are encouraged to ask God for wisdom—don’t hesitate to seek His guidance on your fasting journey. It’s so important to be gentle with yourself; fasting is not about perfection but about drawing closer to our Creator. Let’s pray: Lord, I ask for You to strengthen Jordan’s faith and remove any doubts as he seeks to grow in fasting. Amen.
