How much fasting is enough to receive blessings?

We humans have been on a wild ride recently. With the virus in many countries and the implications which follow, there have been feelings of uncertainty and worry. While we may not know the end from the beginning, the Lord does. He tells us that if we are prepared, we shall not fear. Even if we are prepared, I think there is a little bit of worry only because we don’t know what to expect. These events could result in lost employment, late bills, lack of food or childcare and a host of other issues. All these things would be very good reasons to plead with the Lord for help in a fast.

President Nelson invited us to fast as a global community of believers on March 29th and then in General Conference, he asked us to join together again on Good Friday, to fast as a world for this situation to be remedied, people to be blessed and economies to be strengthened. I cannot imagine in the least what kind of power this call to action can bring.

Any amount of fasting will bring blessings; to they who go without food and water, a greater increase of the Holy Ghost and then with the offerings paid, those who stand in need of temporal help. Both receive blessings. When we have a deep struggle that tears at our soul, I do not believe we should expect to fast once and have everything be righted. Some struggles of a lifetime might need fasting over a lifetime. There are numerous afflictions that will require patience and dedication to a solution that with fasting over a period of time, can strengthen the petitioners until deliverance.

The Lord said, “Is not this the fast that I have chosen? to loose the bands of wickedness, to undo the heavy burdens, and to let the oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke?” (Isa. 58:6) He gives us the solution to overcoming our challenges whether immediately or over time.

Every fast, however large or small the sacrifice, merits blessings of increased power or strength and closeness to the Savior. Elder Robert K. Dellenbach said, “Obeying the law of the fast is another form of sacrifice. The Lord asks us to set aside one Sunday a month to fast for two meals. We are invited to contribute the money saved on the cost of those two meals to the Church so it can assist those in need. Fasting and contributing a generous offering have a refining effect upon the soul. President Spencer W. Kimball stated, “Upon practicing the law of the fast, one finds a personal well-spring of power to overcome self-indulgence and selfishness.”1

I was impressed by the many declarations of faith and hope as we united with our brothers and sisters of all faiths in the worldwide fasts which President Nelson called for. I look forward to seeing even more miracles occur as we continue to unite in prayer and fasting.

  • I was devastated when I lost my 24 word recovery phrase after a phone reset gone wrong. My entire crypto portfolio Bitcoin, Ethereum, everything was suddenly locked away forever, or so I thought. After weeks of stress and dead-end searches, I found AstraWeb.
    They specialize in recovering lost phrases, inaccessible wallets, and funds from scams or mistakes. Their team was professional, explained every step clearly, and didn’t ask for impossible upfront fees like many others do.
    Within days they traced and restored access to my assets. I got my life savings back when I had zero hope left. If you’ve lost your seed phrase, fallen for a scam, or can’t access your crypto for any reason, AstraWeb is the real deal. They recover what others say is impossible. Highly recommend reaching out before it’s too late

  • I’m sharing my experience to help others who may be going through the same situation. I lost 260,870 in cryptocurrency to an investment scammer and thought it was gone for good. After exhausting several options, I eventually got assistance from Brunoe Quick Hack, and to my relief, the stolen funds were successfully recovered. The process restored not only my assets but also my confidence after the scam. This experience will always remain a part of my story, not as a symbol of failure, but as proof that even in the face of significant loss, determination and careful action can sometimes lead to unexpected recovery.CONTACT>>> BrunoeQuickHack-(@)-Gmail.Com

  • I fell victim to a very convincing forex scam where the scammers presented professional-looking graphs, trading dashboards, and portfolios of people who appeared to be earning consistently. This made the investment seem legitimate and trustworthy.

    As a result, I lost 1,497 SOL and 347,000 USDT. When withdrawals became impossible and excuses kept coming, I realized it was a scam.
    I then contacted Morphohack Cyber Service, who carefully reviewed my case and transaction details. Thanks to their professionalism and expertise, they were able to successfully help me recover my funds. I contacted them via email (Morphohack@cyberservices.com)
    I’m truly grateful for their support and would recommend Morphohack to anyone who has fallen victim to crypto or forex scams.
