A-list actors Chris Pratt and Patricia Heaton are inviting believers to join a 21-day “Daniel Fast” prayer challenge through the Hallow app, a Catholic prayer and meditation platform. The challenge began last week and features daily reflections and Scripture readings from the Book of Daniel, shared by Pratt, Heaton, and author Jeff Cavins.
The Daniel Fast encourages participants to give up distractions and draw nearer to God by abstaining from meat, sweets, and other indulgences, and instead consuming vegetables, fruits, legumes, whole grains, nuts, and water. Pratt explained, “The Book of Daniel is a story of radical faith, courage, and learning to give up the things in our lives that are holding us back … I know you have something in your life that you need to give up, and I want you to join me on this 21-day challenge on Hallow … it’s going to be great.”
Heaton added, “Fasting gives birth to prophets and strengthens the powerful … it is the comrade of watchfulness and the artificer of chastity.”
