January 2023 Daniel Fast

November 30, 2022 By Kristen Feola

Play Video about Author Kristen Feola

I believe fasting is an important spiritual discipline, which is why I’ve led an annual Daniel Fast through my website since 2012 (see Online Daniel Fasts). The theme for the 2023 Daniel Fast is “More of You and Less of Me,” which is based on John 3:30: “He must increase, and I must decrease.” The January fast will be held January 1-21, 2023.

“More of You and Less of Me” was born out of my own desire for Christ to be magnified in an increasing measure in my life. In 2023, I’d like the Lord to help me make the following changes:

MORE
thanksgiving

LESS
complaining

books

resources

January 2022 Daniel Fast Testimonies

February 27, 2022 By Kristen Feola

The 11th annual online Daniel Fast was held January 2-22, 2022. This year’s theme was “Pray, Wait, Trust.” Even though the 21-day has ended, we continue pray to the Lord, wait on his timing, and trust in his ways.

Following are a few testimonies from believers who completed the fast. I hope these examples of God’s faithfulness encourage you as you seek him in 2022:

“Kristen, your book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast, was such a blessing! This was my first successful attempt at trying the Daniel Fast. I went into this with many doubts. During the fast, I sought guidance regarding my education and career choices because I wanted God’s will to be done. On day 20 of my Daniel Fast, I was offered an internship for my master’s degree AND a job opportunity regarding my completed bachelor’s degree. I was bewildered! This came out of nowhere. God answered me! Praise to Him forever! Thank you for the great guide regarding the Daniel Fast. It truly helped!” – Dylan

“I loved this journey SO MUCH that I will continue on past the 21 days!” – Jodye

“This was my first time doing the Daniel Fast, and it was a great experience. I can’t believe l did it! God is amazing! On day 3, l received financial blessings that l didn’t expect but didn’t realize it until day 15 when l got the urge to check my account. Praise God! I intend to make fasting and prayer my lifestyle.” – Gigi

“I just had to share with you that I did the Daniel Fast, and it was incredible! The Scriptures you chose and the prayers were just perfect. They brought me back into a time of quiet worship and prayer that I’d fallen out of for a few weeks. It was so timely and necessary for me to have another guide to keep me in the Word. Also, on a side note, I lost 15 pounds doing this fast (I combined it with an 8-hour fast throughout the day) and am feeling physically better than I have in a long time. The plan is to continue with all of this and keep on track. Thank you so much for doing this fast. It’s absolutely amazing and God-honoring.” – Jamie

“I have been so blessed by your book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast. I have done the Daniel Fast several times but never read your book before this year. I can see why my soul’s enemy was keeping me from reading it! Your encouragement, ideas and experience were tools of immense blessing to my mind, body, and soul. I look forward to doing more fasting throughout the year as cleansing tune-ups. THANK YOU!” – Lourdes

“The fast was hard, but I now see God’s purpose and why it was needed. The Lord broke strongholds. Some I saw, and some I didn’t even know existed. God has blessed me beyond expectation, and it’s only the beginning! God is great!” – Amber

Lent 2022

February 27, 2022 By Kristen Feola

Lent is a 40-day* commitment to prayer and fasting that’s observed in the six weeks leading up to Easter. This year, the Lenten Fast starts on Ash Wednesday, March 2, and ends on Thursday, April 14.

A person who participates in Lent can choose to fast in a variety of ways, and one option is to do a Daniel Fast. Following are a a few resources that will encourage you:

Follow my 40-day Prayer Guide.
Invest in a devotional book to guide your prayer time.
Print out a copy of my Holy Week Prayer Guide and use it the week before Easter.

For more information about the Daniel Fast, visit About the Daniel Fast.

*Note: Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday is technically 44 days; however, the number of days for penance and fasting before Easter is still 40: 44 days minus six Sundays equals 38, plus Good Friday and Holy Saturday equals 40.

2022 Daniel Fast

December 4, 2021 By Kristen Feola

Do you ever feel like you’re going through the motions in your spiritual life? Is your Bible reading sporadic or even nonexistent? Does your prayer time seem lifeless and boring? If so, you need to join the January 2022 Daniel Fast to be reenergized and refreshed. The fast will be held January 2-22, 2022, and the theme is Pray, Wait, Trust.

In the first part of the book of Acts, the author, Luke, tells us that before Jesus ascended into Heaven, he instructed his disciples to wait for the Holy Spirit to come upon them. As the believers joined together constantly in prayer, they received what God had promised. Filled with supernatural spiritual power, those followers were then equipped to go forward in boldness, which significantly impacted their world and led thousands of others to salvation.

Like those early disciples, we desperately need the Lord’s help to fulfill the purposes God has for us. This year’s theme is perfect for where we are today because we have many, many reasons to be anxious. Just watching or listening the news can cause even the most laid-back person to be afraid. So, what should we do? God’s Word tells us:

“Don’t worry about anything, but pray about everything. With thankful hearts offer up your prayers and requests to God. Then, because you belong to Christ Jesus, God will bless you with peace that no one can completely understand. And this peace will control the way you think and feel” (Phil. 4:6-7 CEV).

The Daniel Fast is about setting aside comfort for 21 days to focus on prayer. Yes, food is allowed on this fast (as opposed to a water fast), which is good news. However, your food choices are limited (see Daniel Fast Food List). That’s also good news. Why? Because every time you crave coffee or chocolate or meat, you’ll remember why you’re doing this fast in the first place. Instead of giving in to temptation, you’ll experience victory by turning to God instead of food.

Join me and believers all around the world as we join together in prayer and fasting this January. We will:

Pray for our needs and others’ needs.

Wait on the Lord to answer in his way and in his timing.

Trust God to work out his plans for us by remaining focused on truth.

As we commit the first three weeks of the year to prayer and fasting, we’ll see God move in power, just as he did in Acts.

For more information on the Daniel Fast, see About the Fast. Also, be sure to check out the Daniel Fast resources: Recipes, Books, FAQs, January 2022 Daniel Fast Testimonies, and January 2022 Daily Verses.

January 2021 Daniel Fast Testimonies

January 25, 2021 By Kristen Feola

After the unexpected challenges of COVID in 2020, more believers than ever joined the January Ultimate Daniel Fast. Men and women around the world, desperate for new hope, new possibilities, and a new perspective, came together to fast and pray.

The theme for the 10^th annual fast was “Miracles in the Making,” based upon Psalm 77:14: “You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.”

During the 21-day fast, we saw the Lord move in mighty ways. Favor was granted, jobs were provided, people received healing, marriages were restored, and family members were saved. That’s just the beginning, too. More miracles are in the making!

Saturday, January 23, was the last day of the fast. However, we’ll continue to persevere in prayer as we trust God to answer in his way and in his timing. Following are a few testimonies from the January 2021 Daniel Fast:

“Thank you, Kristen, for leading the fast and for the encouraging words from you and your husband in the morning videos. Thanks also for the devotional, Miracles in the Making. I’m certain that the Daniel Fast will continue to be a part of my journey at the beginning of every year.” – Cindy

“I thank God for giving you this vision of the Daniel Fast. What a way to start a year!” – Londie

“I have felt a smothering weight since the pandemic began and then my father died in the fall (not COVID), but COVID protocols made us postpone his celebration until sometime this summer. All of a sudden, on Saturday as I ended my fast, I began to have renewed energy and interest for various projects. I praise God for lifting this shroud of darkness.” – Sarah

“I’ve done the fast with you a few times, and this year it was sorely needed! Like many other people, 2020 took a rough toll on me. I sank into isolation and depression to the point I became very concerned about my health. I woke up the morning of day 1 and was convicted to not only fast from food/drink, but to fast from TV, Facebook, and games on my phone. So, I jumped in with both feet! My BP has gone from 164/99 to 102/60, my resting HR has gone from 82 to the 50s, and I lost 13 pounds. Spiritually, I am praying consistently throughout the day, have much more time to work on my recovery and understand why I have numbed myself with food my whole life, am making church a priority again. My daughter and I are also growing closer. Thank you for your heart for God and willingness to listen to him! I love the fast and love the videos of you and your husband! You have brought a sense of community and support to this 57-year-old single mom who, for the majority of the last year, has spent most of her time home alone with her two fur babies, working too many hours, and making unhealthy choices. That has definitely changed with the fast, and I am certain 2021 will be a much better year! I’ll be back for 2022!” – Diane

“Thank you for the prayer points, daily videos, and just everything that your site provides.” – Litia

“I have a hard time doing a regular fast because it makes me feel sick from not eating, but I had heard of the Daniel Fast and thought I would look it up. Right away, I came upon your website. I don’t think it was a coincidence that our loving Heavenly Father directed me to your site. I’m so grateful for this opportunity to seek the Lord, to devote our lives to Him, to lift His people up in prayer, to listen to His voice, and to praise His Holy name. I’m so thankful for all you are doing Kristen. God promises to bring good out of all things, and He is.” – Lisa

“Thank you for your videos. I decided to do the Daniel Fast for the first time this year. Your website, videos, and recipes really helped me know what to do and expect throughout the fast, and I was strengthened and encouraged by the daily videos. Thanks for sharing this resource and may God continue to richly bless you, your husband, and your family.” – Victor

“I’ve been working as a contractor for five years, making less than $40,000 a year. I have a BS and MS in CIS. I’ve applied and interviewed for the SAME position three times. While on the Daniel Fast, God answered, and I got the job. Now, I’m making more money than I’ve ever made in my life.” – Angie

“Thank you for all you have helped with these last 21+ days.” – Barrie

“Once again, I saw my blood sugar drop to normal. It had been running in the 170s in AM, (90-120 is normal, 120-140 for diabetics). While I was on the Daniel Fast, my blood sugar was in the 130-140 range. Praise God! This happened two years ago as well!” – Alice

“I enjoyed your daily videos and prayer points, not to mention the delicious recipes. Thanks so much, and may God continue to bless you abundantly!” – Marie

“Thank you, Kristen. You have no idea what your book material and fasting time mean to me. It has been amazing! I know all the work that this project involves, so thanks!” – Enriqueta

“Thank you again for walking so many people through this fast and for your years of dedication.” – Heidi

“This fasting time not only was amazing spiritually, but also my family rediscovered my cooking skills with Kristen‘s recipes.” – Veronica

“This is the fifth year that I’ve followed your Daniel Fast postings. The first year I purchased The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast, and I love most of the recipes. Thanks so much for this year’s devotional, prayer points, and the Facebook forum. Each of those is an encouragement to continue the fast, who to pray for, and scriptures for keep me focused on Jesus. The Ultimate Daniel Fast keeps getting better each year! Praying God’s richest blessings on you and your ministry.” – Margi

“Kristen, thank you for leading us on the Daniel Fast. It has made a huge difference in my spiritual life. No doubt I will join the next fast.” – Londy

“This fast has been an immense blessing to me on so many levels! Thank you for hosting such a wonderful event.” – Robin

“The Lord provided and answered so many prayers! I’m so grateful for Kristen and Justin Feola for the daily videos and devotions! What a true blessing! The best is yet to come! May we serve the Lord Jesus always and give God all the glory!” – MaryAnn

“God has been so good. I enjoyed every moment of the fast and have had so many new and exciting experiences with the Holy Spirit. My intention is to pursue God more and chase after Him. I’ve fallen in love with Him all over again and I never want it to end. Thank you, Lord, for your faithfulness that’s new morning by morning.” – Hshaana

“Thank you so much for your prayers and support during this journey. This was my first year participating in the Daniel Fast, and my time with you both during the videos was such a blessing. I will miss you both.” – Stephanie

“I like to do the fast yearly, and every year God amazes me. He made a way when I thought there was no way. I bought my first house on January 8th! I have been waiting five years. All glory to God.” – Monica

“Thank you for hosting this great fast, Kristen. Thank you, Justin, for helping and supporting Kristen and us with the devotionals, videos, recipes, and Facebook Group! I was blessed by it all and by how God helped me to be more disciplined, reflective, introspective, and open to purging. I’m trusting God to continue to equip me to do all HE needs me to accomplish for His glory!” – Chanda

“My journey was an awesome experience. God has answered some of my prayers, and I know he will to answer the others in due time. I will continue with more prayer and devotions throughout the year. A special thank you to Kristen and Justin. It was such a privilege to have you in my home during the videos. Thank you for the encouragement and for uplifting me during the 21 days. May God bless and uphold you in your ministry.” – Nams

“I did the January Daniel Fast because I wanted to get closer to God and start out the New Year with him. God has blessed me with your book and videos. I’ve ordered three more books for my family members and will be starting the Daniel Fast again for Lent. This time, my husband, my dad, and my mom will be joining me. What a blessing! Thank you.” – Gloria

“Thanks so much. See you next year!” – Aaron

If you missed the January Daniel Fast, you can still access the free materials and utilize them any time during the year.

2021 Daniel Fast

December 13, 2020 By Kristen Feola

As 2020 comes to a close, the world is desperate for hope. After months of dealing with the unique challenges of the COVID pandemic, fear is rampant. People are isolated, weary, lonely, and depressed. Perhaps you are, too. One truth we need to remember is that God is isn’t at all surprised by the events of the past year. While it may appear on the surface that the situation is getting worse, I believe what’s happening is a setup for something greater than we can imagine. A setup for miracles.

If you want to see God do the impossible in your life, join the 2021 Daniel Fast. The them for this year is “Miracles in the Making,” based upon Psalm 77:14: “You are the God who performs miracles; you display your power among the peoples.”

Decide now to commit to the Daniel Fast, and watch what God does in response to your commitment. As François Fénelon, former French archbishop and theologian, said, “Time spent in prayer is never wasted.” Join me and thousands of believers across the globe as we believe God for miracles in 2021.

The Daniel Fast and Lent 2020

February 12, 2020 By Kristen Feola

Easter is one of the two most significant holidays for Christians, the other one being Christmas. On December 25, we remember the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ, who came into the world to save us from our sins. On Easter Sunday, we celebrate the victory we’ve been given through his death, burial, and resurrection.

The six weeks leading up to Easter is known as the season of Lent. Many believers choose to set aside time during this 40-day period to reflect on the Lord’s sacrifice and to consecrate themselves before him. Such preparation often includes days of fasting from certain foods, television, and/or social media. During this time, many Christians also choose to participate in a Daniel Fast.

This year, the Lenten Fast starts on Ash Wednesday, February 26, and ends on Thursday, April 9. (Ash Wednesday to Holy Thursday is technically 44 days; however, the number of days for penance and fasting before Easter is still 40: 44 days minus six Sundays equals 38, plus Good Friday and Holy Saturday equals 40).

Will you commit to fast and pray during Lent? Following are a few ways you can participate:

Follow my 40-day Prayer Guide.
Do a Daniel Fast (my book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast, provides all you need to complete the fast successfully).
Use Lift Up Your Voice: 21 Daily Devotions for Your Daniel Fast to guide your Bible study and prayer time.
Fast one day a week.
Do a combination of fasts (water, juice, Daniel).
Print out a copy of my Holy Week Prayer Guide and use it the week before Easter.

The most important thing you and I can do is to pray. “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16B NLT). May the Lord go before us and perform miracles in people’s lives during this Lenten season!

January 2020 Daniel Fast Testimonies

January 27, 2020 By Kristen Feola

Every January since 2012, I’ve led an online Daniel Fast during the first three weeks of January. It’s always an exciting, powerful time as believers from all across the world join together to seek the Lord through prayer and fasting.

This year, men and women from 20 different countries and 45 states participated in the January 2020 Daniel Fast, which was held January 5-25, 2020. Our theme for the fast was “Have Your Way,” based upon Luke 22:42: “Not my will, but yours be done.” We focused on surrendering to the Lord and trusting him with every part of our lives.

Everyone who registered for the online fast received weekly emails and daily videos of encouragement and support. Many fast participants also chose to use my book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast, to make their experience more effective.

Many who fasted experienced breakthrough. Others are still waiting on the Lord for answers to prayer. But, all of us were recipients of God’s kindness and faithfulness on our 21-day journey. Following are a few testimonies from fast participants:

“This was my very first Daniel Fast. I’m SO thankful God invited me to do it and to be able to participate with you. I looked forward to your emails and videos every single day. Your book, recipes, and tips were spot on. The fast was such a gift and incredible way to kick off 2020. God has shown up and off, and I know this is just the beginning.” — Amy

“Mere words cannot truly express how grateful I am. You provided so much encouragement each day with prayer points and Scripture, messages, testimonials, meal suggestions, recipes, and a daily video. I really enjoyed the daily videos. It was an added bonus to have you and your husband, Justin, in the videos, which several of them were “laugh out loud” funny. I just appreciated how genuine and true you both are.” – Argelene

“This Daniel Fast has been such a blessing for my fiancée and me. During this time of engagement and wedding planning, the fast was a great reminder to fully surrender to the Lord, to embrace his perfect peace and wait on his timing. Thank you, Kristen and Justin!” – Christopher

“God has done a miracle in my life. On Day 14, our prayer point was to pray for all who are fasting. That day I was walking towards a store to buy something. I looked to the right and then to the left to make sure it was safe to cross. When I stepped forward, I was hit by a minivan! I felt my body fly, and then my head bounced off the ground. All I could hear was myself saying, “Jesus! Jesus! Lord, help me!” I didn’t lose consciousness, but I had a terrible headache, along with cuts and bruises. I was also very confused. Looking back, I know God was with me and looking after me. I cannot thank God enough for saving my life. This is the power of praying for one another.” – Leila

“One of the best decisions I made before starting the fast is finding and joining you on this journey. My mom and I tried the fast for the first time last year, but I have thoroughly enjoyed it this year because of the guidance from you. I woke up at 4 A.M. some mornings, excited to watch the video and read the devotional portion. I plan to record all of the inspirational quotes on index cards for my desk at work. I just want to tell you and Justin thanks for taking the time to help me on this journey. I’m going to miss you!” – Constance

“Thank you for the Ultimate Daniel Fast! I’m participating, learning, and growing in my Christian walk. I appreciate all you have done and are doing to spur me along on this journey. From the insightful daily devotionals, special encouraging videos, delicious recipes, and inspirational music, I’m in awe of all the resources you provide to keep me in the Word and on track. I’m grateful for you and thank you from the bottom of my heart. May God bless you as you faithfully serve and minister to others.” – Susan

“I really learned a lot through this fast. I knew I was supposed to do it, and I have never been successful in the past. But this time I was. What I desired was to hear from the Lord in a new way, and I am.” – Judy

“Thank you for providing all these resources. I looked forward to my daily emails and video, and the recipes have been amazing. Your book was such a great guideline and resource, which made my very first Daniel Fast simple to follow. The “Have Your Way” theme was perfect as I was in the process of a big decision. I felt the tug to take the next step but was praying for complete clarity. I took the step and feel peace about it. Amen.” – Peggy

“My wife and I completed the fast, during which our fervent prayer request was for confirmation of a mission trip to Zambia. I’m no longer young, so health is an issue when obtaining travel insurance. On Day 21, we had confirmation from the arranging organization that insurance cover will be in place to enable both of us to travel to Zambia for two weeks. Hallelujah! Praise the Lord! See you next year!” – Peter

“Thank you so much for the guidance and the insight into the Word and prayer. I was blessed throughout the fast, and I saw the hand of God work in great ways. The day we were guided to pray for our church was the same day I had a prayer meeting at my house to pray for my church but that had been scheduled days before. I shared the prayer points and the verses. On three different occasions, I used the verses you provided to encourage people who needed them on the same day. This was probably my fifth Daniel Fast, and I look forward to sharing again.” – Paulette

“This was the third time I’ve begun the New Year with the January Daniel Fast, and it just sets my year off right. I prayed specifically that God would limit my hunger and cravings and minimize my side effects the first few days (I always get severe headaches from coffee and sugar withdrawals). He came through as always. My headaches weren’t terrible and only lasted two days. Thank you for doing this each year. Your ministry is a blessing to others.” – Kristi

“Thank you for this wonderful journey.” – Angelica

“I felt God helping me like never before with the fast. Having a prayer partner (an older lady from my church) was such a blessing! Even though Week 1 had spiritual battles and emotional challenges, it went pretty quick, and God was triumphant through everything.” – Oliva

“I prayed that the LORD would set me free from fear of rejection. God has answered my prayer by showing me I need to forgive in order to move forward. I didn’t realize that the inability to overcome fear of rejection was associated with my inability to forgive those who have rejected me in the past. It wasn’t what I expected, but it was what I needed. I’m going to make a point to continue to ask for God to help me to forgive, so I can move forward into the purpose he has for me. I’m so glad I participated in this fast and am excited to see what the LORD has in store!” – Jenna

“I thank God for you and your ministry. I was truly blessed both spiritually and physically during the fast.” – Saundra

“I have been struggling since I retired and have been thinking about going back to work. Yet, every interview has ended with, “No, thank you.” During the fast, I took the message of surrender to heart, and said, “I surrender this to you, LORD. If you want me to go back to work, you can open the door.” I also surrendered my food cravings. I’ve lost eight pounds and have taken three inches off my waistline, wearing jeans I haven’t worn in several years. So, thank you for your dedication and encouragement. It was really helpful, and I appreciate it. See you next year!” – Rick

“I’m starting a grooming business from scratch but don’t have much equipment or materials. Recently, I wrote a letter to a manufacturer to see if they could donate some grooming equipment. On Day 20 of the fast, I received a care package with the tools I need! I believe this is a result of my Daniel Fast 2020.” – Seary

“This January was my fourth fast. The first year I bought your book, The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast. I also subscribed to your emails, which was a tremendous help, and purchased your Spiritually Strong book. The second year, I used your resources again and loved it. However, the third year I didn’t. I had God and friends and that was all I needed. But, this year I came back home. I missed your smiling face and your daily encouragement. Even though the videos were short, they were just what I needed to hear and see. It really does make a difference not only to read but to see a live person helping you along the way. Thank you, Kristen. God put you in our lives, and I’m thankful for all you do.” – Marie

“I’m thankful I did the Daniel Fast for the first time with my daughter (her first time too). I feel great, and, most importantly, I know God is on his time, and he will answer my prayers. God bless you, and thank you for your words of encouragement every day and for your delicious recipes.” – Wendy

“I wanted to say thank you for hosting the Daniel Fast again this year. I have been using your guidance in the fast for four or five years now. I really look forward to starting my year in prayer and fasting. Your videos and words are great guides and great reminders on how to connect better with Jesus, our spouse, our friends, our families, and others. I have come out of these past 21 days feeling I have better relationships and more focus on God’s Word. The Ultimate Guide to the Daniel Fast has been an excellent resource for me as well. Great messages and tasty recipes!” – Rob

“We decided to do the fast this year as a family. Usually, just my husband and I do the fast in January. This year both of our daughters wanted to join (in a modified form). The key thing we wanted to do as a family was carve out time each evening to read the Ultimate Daniel Fast daily devotional and Scriptures. Well, it was great! Each night we would take turns reading and then spend a few minutes discussing what we could take away from the reading and how we could apply it. Thanks for all the support you provided during this fast through your daily messages.” – Bridget

“Praise God for my improved health! One of the things on my Daniel Fast was to become for spiritually, mentally, and physically healthy. It’s already happening. I’m going to continue to follow many (not all, LOL) of the Daniel Fast guidelines to continue my improved health. I thank God for you and Justin. You just don’t know how much your daily videos and Scriptures meant to us.” – Brenda

“Thank you so much, Kristen. Thanks to you and your hubby for keeping me on track and allowing me to share what I’m doing with others, especially the message of how God blesses our sacrifice when we turn to him. Blessings in 2020 to you and your family! Also, I’m a two-year breast cancer victor. I don’t say survivor, because in him I’m not just surviving, I’m thriving in victory!” – Alice

“This was my very first Daniel Fast, and I can assure it was an awesome experience. It was so difficult, hard, soul searching but absolutely awesome and so very rewarding. The January fast is something I will definitely do again. I have already seen the miracles happening in my life and household.” – Imelda

Even though our 21-day journey has officially come to an end, our prayers will continue to make an impact. God is still at work in us and through us. We give him all the glory for the great things he has done and look forward to even more blessings throughout the year!
