I wish you luck and strength. Remember that God is your strength while your body is weak. Remember to pray and read scripture when you would normally be eating. Never forget that fasting is a way of honoring God and should be a joy as you rely on God's strength instead of your own.

Is a 40 day fast even possible? Or is this not a total fast. (In a total fast, you can't eat at all). Just wanted to get some clarification

@AdmiralSnakbar it's not a complete fast. The only two people I know who did a complete fast for 40 days were Moses and Jesus, and I think those were supernaturally sustained fasts because the body normally needs water within a 4-7 days I believe and food/nutrients within a month. Always consult your doctor on fasting if you have medical conditions.

@AdmiralSnakbar Some fast by giving up eating certain foods, or a meal during the day,TV, internet, marital relations (sex), etc. but fasting is not merely about giving up something (physical) but more intense spiritual activity with the goal to seek God deeper for direction, help, an expression of repentance, renewal, worship. It often includes prayer, reading the Bible, quiet times to listen to God. Maybe others have more to say about fasting.
