It happens in the heart at some point when love will seem flimsy, when the future of a relationship will seem uncertain, and all you will want is to hear God speaking above the noise of your emotions. During those instances of religiosity, at the times when your soul desperately desires peace, enlightenment, and miraculous guidance, fasting is not a spiritual exercise anymore, it is your connection to heaven.
A form of surrender fasting in order to have a relationship is a great thing. It is a matter of deciding that you are going to lay down your hurt, your perplexity, your greatest wishes, and just telling the Lord, not my will, but Thy will be done. It is a call to the divine counsel when the mortal words fail to take out the pain. Fasting and the word of God are consummate companions because the moment you fast and line it up with the word, you are in a divine position where you break chains, heal the hearts, and redirect the destinies of man through the arm of the Almighty.
It may be that you still have hope to cling to in a never-to-be-restored relationship, or you are wondering how God would guide you in a new relationship of whatever nature, or you would dare God to reveal to you of He would have you drop the relationship you are going through–this is your time to stop and press in and pray with authority. In Scripture, you will have the strength to endure, the wisdom to make the right choice, and peace that is beyond human knowledge.
These bible verses do not only inspire, they are spiritual weapons, divine guidelines, and spiritual reminders that God is involved in your relationships. When the feelings are rampant and the heart is wavering, His Word will hold you on firm ground and when the dressing rooms are cold His Word will bring love back like fresh air.
Therefore, fast and pray with expectation. God does not live far away. He is also close to the broken-hearted and remains abundant in His wisdom, faithful towards those who seek Him. May this be your holy pilgrimage to breakthrough, not only with your relationship but with the Lord also.
Be ready to be revitalized. You will change. And prepare yourself–when you put your relationship with God first, He acts in ways that are powerful, personal, and permanent.

Final thoughts: Activate Your Faith through Fasting
Fasting is a holy ground in which you give God permission to pull out the fear, uncover the reality, and restore that which was lost. You are not wasting your time believing you need to be reconciled or that you need to be healed out of heartbreak or you need the strength to walk out of something that is not meant to be in your life. Your sacrifice is nothing in vain. God is aware. Heaven does listen to you. And heavens are traveling your way.
They are not just random verses, but life-giving promises and things a battle-proven truth, and divine affirmations of a God who knows your heart. Make every Scripture a seed–in your fast plant the seed, and your prayer water it, and God will bring something beautiful out of it in your soul and circumstances.
Never hurry. There is no delay in the timing of God and His plan is not faulty. Just because you feel He is making no progress, does not mean He is not. He is behind the scenes readjusting your heart, restoring your faith, and getting ready for something much better than what you are leaving behind.
Your fast is a pronouncement: God I trust You more than my feelings. May it be a holy deed of releasing and releasing God to make your love story the way he designs it.
Keep that in mind: The relationship that God blesses will not ask you to sacrifice your peace your purpose or your identity in Him. Continue to believe, continue to ask, and continue to stand on His Word. Slowly but surely breakthrough is on its way. Recovery is taking place. And Godly guidance is falling out of the sky and into your life.
This is not the end–this is your highlight time.
It is faith in motion that you fast.
Prayers are an invitation to heaven.
Your obedience is liberating miracles.
And Your tale is written again–by the writer of perfect love.
