## Resource

This experience reminds us that fasting is about alignment, not repetition, and walking with God even when we can’t yet see what’s next. Through Daniel 10, we learn that God hears us from the first day, but breakthrough may require sacrifice as He strips away the flesh and clarifies our vision. Like Daniel, we are called to fast beyond ourselves, trusting God’s timing and interceding for others, even when they can't see what the Spirit is showing them.
