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.

  • Hi guys, my name is Sarah Flower, I ended my marriage in 2024 due to suffering from domestic abuse at the hands of my husband. Currently, he is trying to reconcile with me after finding out that I won a Jackpot Lottery Prize of $96 million. Fortunately, I received assistance online from Lord Meduza, the great spell caster who has successfully aided many individuals worldwide in winning the lottery. I reached out to him about my circumstances and expressed my desire to win the lottery. After casting the spell, he provided me with the exact numbers to play. Now, my husband wants me back, fully aware of my $96 million lottery win, but I told him no; I will not return to him. I am incredibly grateful to Lord Meduza, and if you find yourself facing a tough situation, I recommend that you reach out to Lord Meduza as he’s the best in his field. You can reach him via

  • Bitcoin Recovery Testimony: How LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY Saved My $1 Million

    I never imagined I would be in a situation like this. In January 2025, I mistakenly transferred $1 million worth of Bitcoin to the wrong wallet address during a high-pressure transaction. It was a moment of carelessness that nearly cost me everything. The wallet I sent it to was untraceable, and I was told by several “experts” that once crypto is gone, it’s gone for good.

    I was devastated. That money represented years of savings, business investments, and future plans. I couldn’t sleep or think straight. I reached out to different platforms and forums, hoping someone might help, but it felt hopeless—until I was referred to LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY .

    From the first moment I contacted them, I could tell this wasn’t just another “recovery scam.” Their team was professional, clear in their communication, and, most importantly, they didn’t make unrealistic promises. They walked me through their process step by step, and while I was still skeptical, I had nothing left to lose.

    To my amazement, within just a few weeks, LION CYBERSECURITY COMPANY used their rare level of expertise and deep hacking skills to trace, access, and recover the entire $1 million in Bitcoin. They achieved what I was told was impossible.

    This company is the real deal. Not only did they retrieve my funds, but they also educated me on how to protect myself from future risks. I am forever grateful to the LION Cybersecurity team. If you’re in a similar situation, don’t give up hope—these are the people you want on your side and they can be contacted through either of the following channels;

  • Through Telegram, I’ve finally had the opportunity to witness genuine professionalism with DuneNectarWebExpert. This experience has renewed my trust in people and strengthened my conviction in the significance of persistence and empathy. As a long-standing physician practicing in Atlanta, Georgia, I’ve treated numerous patients who have been victimized, their lives irreversibly altered by the damaging consequences of entrusting the wrong person with their private and financial details. One of my patients suggested that I seek help from DuneNectarWebExpert. From the instant I contacted ( Support (@) Dunenectarwebexpert (.) C0M ), I was met with comprehension, as they grasped the emotional distress caused by an online romance scam. Their professionalism, compassion, and commitment to rectifying the injustices suffered by scam victims, including myself and many others, were evident. Their team, comprised of cybersecurity professionals and digital investigation specialists, promptly evaluated the situation and developed a thorough plan to retrieve my lost funds. I would not be writing this epistle if I had not achieved the outcome I anticipated when I engaged DuneNectarWebExpert services. The process was challenging, as these fraudsters actively resisted efforts to recover my scammed crypto funds successfully. At the end of everything, it was all a success, and I am forever grateful to my patient and the team of DUNENECTARWEBEXPERT for their aid in my life and my family’s. Please deal with DUNENECTARWEBEXPERT directly via their officials:

  • I’m a 37-year-old marketing consultant from Berlin, and in 2024, I invested 4.8 BTC (about €300,600) into what I believed was a legitimate opportunity through HyperVerse. It looked promising at first daily returns, active communication but within months, the platform collapsed. My Bitcoin was gone, and I realized too late it was a Ponzi scheme.

    Refusing to accept the loss, I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service. Their team of crypto recovery experts carefully analyzed my case, tracked the stolen funds using blockchain forensics, and communicated with me every step of the way. After nearly four months, they recovered 3.9 BTC, around €366,200 (at the time of recovery) into a secure wallet.

    While I didn’t recover everything, I got back more than I expected. If you’ve been scammed in crypto, I highly recommend Morphohack. Their professionalism and results gave me a second chance.
