But really...
If we are fasting to seek God's will on a matter or to commit to Him, I believe He will honor it. If we are simply going on a hunger strike to try to get the answer we want, it probably won't work.

"They" always say that you will find when your not looking. I ALWAYS disputed that and
thought I tried it for over a decade. The problem is I would be thinking "OK God, I am not looking.... I am not looking.... Where IS she?". Of course I WAS looking, that is until I drove a couple of states away on what turned into a very bad blind date. Not only did the date itself turn into a dud but I ran a read light and smacked into a car full of..... well, I won't say who but there were chicken feathers and tamales everywhere. I was so beat that I told the officer "ya, I ran a red light...." when he asked what happened. The firemen who arrived a few minutes later came up to me and shook my hand and said "You are the FIRST person to ever admit running a red light in this town!". Apparently they were so impressed that I didn't even receive a traffic ticket!
Early the next morning I took my rental car and drove home -one full day ahead of schedule.
THAT night I logged onto a dating site I tried out (a very bad site I might add) and saw someone responded to my ad. I was NOT looking at this point, which I can honestly say was the first I was NOT looking in my adult life, but responded back to the ad with a "Hi. Love to chat sometime." and left it at that. Normally I would have written a few paragraphs, but that was it. I simply didn't care.
She responded back in a few minutes -since she was logging on to delete her account because it was nothing but porno spam and fake accounts, and saw my response and emailed. (Had I responded even 15 minutes later, she would have logged on, deleted her account, and we would never have met.)
Five months later we got married in Vegas!
Today we live in Sunny Arizona!
