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.

    My adventure was anything but entertaining or heartwarming, yet it ultimately achieved its goals. I suffered from a health issue and had been undergoing treatment my entire life, which had been a financial burden, pushing me to seek ways to secure a substantial and dependable income. I stumbled upon an advertisement promising returns 100 times greater than the initial investment, with their methods and offers seeming straightforward, which piqued my interest. I decided to invest $32,000.00 and, within mere hours, my earnings had soared. I was eager to withdraw my funds the following day, only to be told I would need to pay more, which I found unacceptable. The company was unwilling to allow my withdrawals. I reached out by phone and email, but received no reply. My advice to others: if you’re unfamiliar with crypto/BTC trading, steer clear of it entirely. I grew frustrated with their schemes and the pressure to contribute more. I reported the issue to the authorities, and a sergeant referred me to a private ethical hacker with experience in resolving crypto-related crimes similar to mine. This information ultimately saved my life. I immediately contacted META TECH RECOVERY PRO, filed a complaint through their live chat on their website, providing evidence and more, and they took immediate action. This specialist in recovering lost assets ensured that everything was returned to me from the wallet I had sent it from. Their reputation as a premier cybersecurity firm in the field of crypto recovery is well-deserved, based on their experience.

    thank you.

  • When your life savings are tied up in cryptocurrency, you might expect a few bumps along the way. But nothing could have prepared me for the emotional rollercoaster of losing access to my $200,000 Bitcoin wallet. After enduring a painful breakup, I found myself in a whirlwind of emotions, and in a moment of vulnerability, I decided to change my wallet password to something that seemed clever and meaningful in the heat of the moment. Unfortunately, that moment of inspiration faded quickly, and I completely forgot my new password.
    The sinking feeling of panic set in as I realized I was locked out of my own funds. My heart raced, and my mind spiraled into chaos as I imagined how my hasty decision had cost me everything I had worked tirelessly to build. The fear of losing access to my hard-earned money felt like a nightmare I couldn’t wake up from. It was a painful reminder that in moments of emotional distress, our judgment can become clouded.
    Desperate for help, I turned to Rapid Digital Recovery, hoping they could guide me through this dark period. From my first interaction with their team, I felt an overwhelming sense of relief wash over me. Their empathetic approach and understanding nature reassured me that I wasn’t the first person to make a hasty decision during a turbulent time. They patiently listened to my story and the circumstances that led me to this predicament, making me feel heard and understood.
    The team at Rapid Digital Recovery wasted no time getting to work. They assured me that they had the tools and expertise to help recover my funds, and their professionalism was evident from the start. Days felt like an eternity as I anxiously awaited updates. Each time my phone buzzed, I felt a surge of hope and dread, torn between the possibility of good news and the fear of disappointment.
    Finally, the moment I had been praying for arrived. I received the call confirming that they had successfully cracked my password and restored access to my wallet. The overwhelming relief I felt was indescribable; it was as if a massive weight had been lifted from my shoulders. All the stress and sleepless nights melted away in an instant, and I was finally able to breathe again.
    This experience taught me a crucial lesson about approaching both love and finances with a level head. Emotions can drive us to make impulsive decisions, and I’ve learned the importance of taking a step back to think things through before acting. Now, I securely store my passwords and have implemented strategies to prevent emotional turmoil from affecting my financial choices in the future. Thanks to Rapid Digital Recovery, I not only regained my access but also gained invaluable insights for a brighter financial future.

  • Hello everyone, I want to share my story about losing $32,000 to a forex trading scam while living in Florida. This serves as a cautionary tale, and I hope it can help others avoid similar pitfalls. A few years back, I became intrigued by forex trading. It seemed thrilling and full of promise. I consumed articles, watched countless videos, and engaged in online forums where traders showcased their successes. I thought this could be my chance to grow my savings and achieve financial freedom. Unfortunately, things took a drastic turn when I encountered a broker that seemed credible. The broker’s website was polished and professional, complete with testimonials and eye-catching marketing. They guaranteed high returns with little risk, and I was captivated by the prospect of quick profits. I ended up investing $32,000, believing I could turn that into a much larger amount. Sadly, the initial gains I experienced turned out to be nothing more than a lure. When I attempted to withdraw my funds, I was bombarded with excuses and overly complicated processes. Eventually, my account was locked, leaving me unable to access my money. Feeling defeated and desperate, I started looking for ways to recover my losses. That’s when I discovered Rapid Digital Recovery. A friend in finance had highly recommended them, so I decided to reach out, rapiddigitalreco ve ry @ exe cs.com.

Thank you for taking the time to read my story, and I hope it helps someone out there.
