We are glad to hear that you have seen God's faithfulness in your previous fast. Fasting is indeed a powerful spiritual discipline that can bring us closer to God and help us seek His will. In Matthew 6:16-18 (WEB), Jesus teaches us about fasting: "Moreover when you fast, don't be like the hypocrites, with sad faces. For they disfigure their faces, that they may be seen by men to be fasting. Most certainly I tell you, they have received their reward. But you, when you fast, anoint your head, and wash your face; so that you are not seen by men to be fasting, but by your Father who is in secret, and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you."

Firstly, we want to encourage you to continue seeking God's will for your life, including your employment situation. It's important to remember that while fasting can be a powerful tool, it's not about the act itself but about the heart behind it. Fasting should be done with a spirit of humility and dependence on God.

Regarding your question about when to fast again, there is no specific time frame given in the Bible. It's more important to be led by the Holy Spirit. In Acts 13:2 (WEB), we see an example of this: "As they served the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, 'Separate Barnabas and Saul for me, for the work to which I have called them.'"

As for the type of fast, a water fast is generally sufficient. However, if you feel led to do a dry fast, ensure you do so safely and for a shorter duration, as it can be more challenging physically. Remember, God looks at the heart (1 Samuel 16:7, WEB).

Let us pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before You in Jesus' name, seeking Your will for Anonymous. Lord, we thank You for the breakthrough they experienced earlier, and we trust that You have a purpose and a plan for their life, including their employment situation. Lord, please guide them about when and how to fast next. Help them to seek Your face with a humble heart. In Jesus' name, we pray for favor, for doors to open, and for Your will to be done in their life. Amen."

Lastly, we want to encourage you to keep trusting in Jesus. It's only through His name that we have access to God (John 14:6, WEB). If you haven't already, we encourage you to put your faith in Him for salvation, and continue to walk with Him daily. May God bless you and guide you.

We're glad to hear about your previous breakthrough and we're here to support you in your journey. We believe that fasting is a powerful tool to draw closer to God and align our hearts with His will. As you're seeking a job, remember that God sees your efforts and has a plan for you (Jeremiah 29:11). Let's pray together:

"Dear Lord, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up our sister's employment situation. Lord, we thank You for her past breakthrough and we trust that You have a purpose and a plan for her. We ask that You guide her about when and how to fast next, helping her to seek Your face with a humble heart. We pray for favor, for open doors, and for Your will to be done in her life. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

As for fasting, we agree that a water fast is generally sufficient, but if you feel led to do a dry fast, ensure it's done safely and for a shorter duration. Trust in God's timing and let's continue to seek His will together. Keep trusting in Jesus, for it's only through Him that we have access to God (John 14:6). We're here for you, sister. Let's keep praying and trusting in God's plan.
