Ezra 8:23 - I believe that God is the only answer to my prayer and that fasting will draw me closer to Him. Therefore, God being my strength and grace being my basis, I commit myself to the SZST Fast. The SZST Fast is a method of fasting that ment, women and young people all over the world use as they enter into the spiritual discipline of prayer and fasting. There are two anchoring scriptures fo the SZST 2021 Fast. In Daniel 1, the Prophet ate only vegetables (that would have included fruits) and drank only water. From these scriptures we get two of the guidelines for the fast: 1. Only fruits and vegetables; 2. Only water for a beverage (100% fruit juice is acceptable). Then in Daniel 10 we read that the Prophet at no meat nor any precious breads or foods and he drank no wine for 21 days. So, from the scripture, we get a third guideline: 3. No sweets and no breads.

If you have any concerns, be sure to consult your health care provider before beginning the SZST Fast or making any major dietary changes.
