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.

  • As a social media enthusiast, I was drawn in by brokers from a company called Fx Money that I met on Reddit. They cleverly used fake success stories to entice new investors. Their persuasive testimonials painted a picture of financial success that seemed too good to be true. The brokers presented themselves as seasoned experts, sharing impressive charts and glowing reviews from supposed clients. I was captivated; they seemed trustworthy, and I let my guard down, thinking I had finally found a legitimate opportunity to grow my savings. Everything appeared to go smoothly. I invested a modest amount, and for a while, it seemed like my funds were growing. The brokers at Fx Money provided regular updates, showcasing my “profits” and encouraging me to invest more. They emphasized the urgency of the market, claiming that the best opportunities were fleeting. Feeling a mix of excitement and greed, I took their advice, pouring in additional funds. However, the joy was short-lived. When I tried to withdraw some of my earnings, the brokers suddenly became unresponsive. They claimed technical issues were preventing withdrawals and assured me that my funds were secure. Days turned into weeks, and my anxiety grew. After a while, it became painfully clear that I had fallen victim to a scam. Realizing the extent of my loss was devastating. I felt embarrassed and ashamed, wondering how I could have been so naive. Seeking help, I discovered Digital Gold Hunter, a service that specializes in helping victims of online scams. They promised a systematic approach to recover lost funds and restore some semblance of normalcy. I reached out to Digital Gold Hunter on

    sharing my story in detail. Their team was understanding and professional, offering insights into how these scams operate and the tactics fraudsters use to exploit unsuspecting individuals. They explained the importance of gathering evidence and documentation related to my case. Together, we compiled transaction records, communication logs, and screenshots of Fx Money’s fraudulent claims. The recovery process involved various steps, including filing complaints with relevant authorities and reaching out to payment providers. While the journey was fraught with uncertainty, Digital Gold Hunter provided the support I desperately needed. They kept me informed throughout the process, helping me understand each stage and manage my expectations. This experience taught me a valuable lesson about vigilance and the importance of thorough research before investing. No opportunity is worth the risk of losing hard-earned money, especially when it comes from sources that seem too good to be true. I now approach investments with a more skeptical eye, and I encourage others to do the same. The online world can be a treacherous place, but with awareness and caution, we can protect ourselves from falling into similar traps.
