Have you checked your screen time lately?In today’s world, our phones and gadgets have become an inseparable part of our lives. We spend hours scrolling through social media, consuming news, and binge-watching endless episodes of TV series. But have you ever stopped to think—how much of this is truly beneficial? How much precious time is slipping away on distractions that do little for our well-being?

Have you ever considered taking a break from the digital world to experience the presence of God?

Even in these troubled times, He gives us the opportunity to draw closer to Him. We will take you through how to participate in the Fast of Daniel, a unique opportunity to disconnect from distractions and strengthen your relationship with God.

What is the Fast of Daniel?

The Fast of Daniel is a spiritual purpose inspired by the biblical prophet Daniel, as described in chapter 10 of the Book of Daniel. For 21 days, Daniel abstained from pleasurable foods and distractions to seek God’s favour, wisdom, and understanding. However, this fast is not about food but about eliminating worldly influences that divert our focus from God.

Why Take Part in the Fast of Daniel?

The purpose of this fast is to demonstrate that God is your top priority. Over 21 days, from Sunday 30^th March to Sunday 20^th April, you will consciously step away from secular influences and distractions that distance you from Him.

What is the objective?

The ultimate goal is to receive the Holy Spirit, which is having the Spirit of God living inside of you. By dedicating these 21 days to seeking God, you will create an environment where He can work in your heart and start a new life with Him.

How to Do the Fast of Daniel

1. Abstain from secular media and entertainment – Just as Daniel refrained from indulgent foods, you will refrain from activities that distract you, such as social media (unless for work), entertainment, and secular news.
2. Engage with spiritual content – Replace worldly distractions with reading the Bible and books of faith. In addition, you can also head over to Univer Video to find special content for this period.  

The Fast of Daniel is an opportunity to reset your spiritual life and to connect with God. Are you willing to take on this challenge? For 21 days, set aside distractions and seek Him wholeheartedly. If you truly desire to receive the Holy Spirit and experience transformation, this is your moment.
