**To get good results, you need to know exactly what you are doing.** Another Daniel Fast has arrived, and we have prepared this article to help you understand it better, observe it effectively and be different at the end of the 21 days of sacrifice.

During the reign of Cyrus, king of Persia, Daniel's fast meant giving up the delicacies of the palace, eating no meat, drinking no wine and not anointing himself with ointment, in order to seek God.

### What is the Daniel Fast?

The Daniel Fast is a time of sacrifice. In the prophet's day it meant giving up food and drink, but today, **what would be the greatest sacrifice for people?**

In a world where everything is easily accessible with a click, the greatest sacrifice is saying no to social media, entertainment and the distractions on *streaming* services that offer little or no valuable teaching.

Social media's rapid scrolling hypnotizes you and makes time pass in the blink of an eye. Often you barely remember what you were watching minutes earlier because the content has so little relevance.

With work, studies, leisure, time on social media and binge-watching your series and movies, how much time have you set aside for your relationship with God? Probably almost none.

**The Daniel Fast is here to make you change your priorities.** What you think is important will lead you down no other path than that of perdition.

Understand, too, that taking a break from distractions during the Daniel Fast will greatly benefit not only your spiritual life but other areas of your life as well.
