For this special Bonus playlist, we remind you of these key scriptures and songs to turn to when you need a reminder. Our Scripture playlist includes:  Mark 6:31 (NLT): He said to them, “Come away from the people. Be by yourselves and rest.” There were many people coming and going. They had no time even to eat.' Ecclesiastes 3:7b (NLT): ‘A time to be quiet and a time to speak.' Isaiah 26:3 (ESV) - ‘You keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on you, because he trusts in you.' Psalm 150:6 (NLT) - ‘Let everything that breathes sing praises to the Lord! Praise the Lord!' Genesis 2:7 (NLT) - ‘Then the Lord God formed the man from the dust off the ground. He breathed the breath of life into the man's nostrils, and the man became a living person.'

Remember, FASTING WITHOUT PRAYER IS MERELY GOING ON A DIET. We want to see spiritual results as well as physical. What is the Daniel Fast? (see Daniel 1:12) Essentially a vegetarian/vegan diet Food Included: Whole Grains, Legumes, Fruits, Vegetables, Water, All natural Juices Food Not Included: Sugar, Desserts, Soft Drinks, Table or Box salt, Bread, Meats, Fish, Poultry, Dairy, Fried foods, Butter, etc.  The perfect way to start your fast: Glo Juice Bar: (Dallas, TX) - Real.
