There are moments in our lives when we feel called to seek deeper spiritual nourishment—a time to pause, reflect, and open ourselves to divine guidance. Recently (yesterday), I embarked on a full-day prayer fast that turned out to be a transformative spiritually uplifting experience, reconnecting me with the divine, my spirit helpers, and the subtle energies of the universe.

A Day of Sacred Intention and Dedication

I began my fast by setting a clear intention: to connect with God and my spirit helpers, to receive messages about my personal spiritual path, and to also explore a deeper and evolved understanding of how God fits into my belief system. To honor this commitment, I lit a candle as a symbol of my decision to not have food and dedicated the day entirely to prayer and reflection. In exchange, of something that is important to me food, I dedicated/offered the energy of the desire and need for it to God and the connection I was about to make. 

My home was quiet and peaceful without the distraction of phone calls. I immersed myself in a continuous state of prayer. I actually wore noise-canceling headphones that were turned off for silence and peace. This sacred space allowed me to move beyond the physical into a deeper realm of spiritual insight. I kept my journal nearby so I could record the things that I experienced. I did take a few breaks to disconnect and process what I was experiencing and then went back to the connection. 

Beyond Physical Needs

Although I anticipated that a day without food might stir up hunger pains or bring up my food addictions(!), the experience was surprisingly liberating. Instead of feeling the pull of physical needs, I discovered a profound connection that transcended any earthly or physical desires. The absence of food became a doorway to inner clarity and a deeper communion with God, my guides, and the angels that surround and assist me daily.  In fact, I was able to connect to guides who were some of the very first to help with my early spiritual awakening 30 years ago. It was like seeing an old friend. As the hours unfolded, I sensed an overwhelming peace and a subtle yet powerful golden glow that filled me with spiritual strength, connection, and renewal.

I believe that creating this very special time for your spiritual practice is one that is highly personal. So, I also believe it is not meant to have all the rules and restrictions instead, make your prayer fast personal and you create your own rules for it.

Revelations and Insights

Throughout my fast, I received a series of messages that deepened my understanding of both my personal inner world and the expansive galaxy and universe. I felt a renewed clarity about aspects of the universe and the harmonious alignment of various spirit helpers in it. This insight extended to a more distinct understanding of my own soul’s origin and its orientation, reminding me of my purpose and to see it more clearly. Additionally, while experiencing the prayer fast, my deeper sacred spiritual heart was opened and received love and a golden light. A particularly strong message emerged, reaffirming my commitment to my spiritual work and the purpose of my website and spiritual community groups.

Emerging with a Renewed Spirit

The day after my prayer fast, I awoke with a clear mind and a strengthened spirit. I felt light, both physically and energetically, as if a weight had been lifted. The golden glow I experienced during my fast is still with me as well as a connection to a higher state of consciousness. This newfound clarity and vitality have not only enriched my spiritual practice but also deepened my understanding of my personal and collective journey.

A Nurturing Experience of Transformation

Reflecting on this experience, I realize that a prayer fast is more than an abstinence from food—it is a holistic practice that nurtures the soul and aligns us with divine energies. My day-long commitment to prayer allowed me to step away from the distractions of daily life and to fully engage with the sacred. The clarity, strength, and spiritual guidance I received are gifts that will continue to shape my path forward. It is a reminder that our connection with the divine is always within reach when we dedicate time to quiet reflection and heartfelt prayer.

Exploring Additional Benefits of Prayer Fasting

A prayer fast can also be beneficial outside of the desire for clarity and connection. It can serve as a powerful tool during a transition, allowing you to release old patterns and invite new energies into your life. For example, when facing challenging decisions or navigating a difficult emotional situation, a prayer fast creates a sacred space to receive divine guidance and inner strength. The fast removes the old and makes space for a higher vibration of (re)new(ed) spiritual energies.

It can also be a spiritually nurturing practice for those seeking healing—whether it is emotional, spiritual, or even physical—by creating a deep sense of mindfulness and renewal.

In moments of uncertainty or when the burdens of your everyday life become overwhelming, dedicating time to a prayer fast can help recalibrate your inner world, align your intentions with a higher purpose, and ultimately restore a sense of peace and balance. The fast does not need to be a whole entire day. It could simply be for a small window of time like fasting for your dinner and committing to the rest of the evening to prayer, guidance, and connection.

In fact, the fast doesn’t need to be food at all. It can be anything that you enjoy or need that you surrender the desire and energy to God and give it to source in exchange for support, guidance, connection, or even healing.

I hope this account inspires you to consider your own moments of spiritual pause, to seek connection beyond the physical, and to experience the transformative power of a prayer fast.
