Singer Lauren Daigle Urges People To Pray and Fast
After talking to God about her hopeless feelings, Daigle received an answer about prayer and fasting. “I felt strange about calling for a corporate fast, [because] I’ve always thought it should be a private, intimate practice between you and God,” she admitted. But then the singer read in the book of Jonah that “Nineveh fasted as an entire people—even their king.”

Although Daigle doesn’t have “all the answers for the ache of this age,” she believes that “fasting pushes back the demonic forces of evil.” This “supernatural” act is “the antidote to breakthrough…when the world seems too heavy,” she said. Christians can fast by abstaining from certain types of food, Daigle noted, but also from items such as caffeine or social media.
During her first session of Bible study and prayer, Daigle read from Esther 1. “Esther saved an entire people group,” she said, and “there’s gonna be Esthers rising up in this generation to lead people back to God.”
The singer testified about times when fasting has led to breakthroughs in her career and relationships. Daigle also spoke about the power of the Spirit of the living God, saying, “Greater is he who is living in you than he who is in this world” (1 John 4:4).
Jesus is returning someday, Daigle reminded listeners, adding, “It feels like God is doing everything he can to wake people up and to let his voice be heard and let people come to know him right now.” She urged people to pray for America and to remember that our nation has “a lot to steward” for the rest of the world, which leans on us “to pave a way” for freedom.
God will heal our land from evil, division, and dissension, Daigle said. She offered thoughts and prayers to the family of Charlie Kirk and concluded, “May this darkness shift as we see the light of Jesus dispel all wickedness.”
