Fasting from social media is definitely necessary to clear our minds and really focus on what God is saying. It’s crazy bc every time I fast from social media I never really have the desire to get back on lol

[@genesisnicole9346]

I’ve taken breaks from social for the same reasons as you. Comparing myself to others, not feeling productive, wasting time, and all that. I felt more concentrated, more content, more connected to God, and overall just better! We’ll miss ya!

[@Restyoursoul287]

Fasting from social media has also been sitting on my mind lately. I feel like God wants me to pull away for a couple months and I feel like your video was a confirmation! ❤️

[@AblazewithCharity]

Wow it's so true how nowadays we do things to share them 😅 anyway I hope and pray God will speak to you Leah during this time. Can't wait for the video about your experience. Big up to all Christian KZbinrs out here💃

[@Blessed_Daye]

This is why one reason why I'm fasting. Smh I just want to LIVE and be in God's will.

[@Msomifabien]

I so agree . In my opinion social media has gone to far. Like we live and breathe social media and it seems like your not "worthy " if you are not at a" certain place in life " on social media . And it's all just bogus . Like I believe social media can be a good thing but I feel like there needs to be a nice middle ground

[@shannel3450]

On time! God shared with me to do the same, and I got on KZbin anyway and this was the first video I saw smh! God bless you.

[@AsiaSee31Thirty]

I’m so glad you did this for you! I’ve done social media fasts, as it’s been in my life about the same length of time as you! I truly believe God has worked on the spirit of comparison & being present in the time of fasting.

[@JuliaBoateng]

Hey Leah! I fasted Instagram about two weeks ago for a week and it was so refreshing. I’ve noticed ive been on KZbin a lot watching a lot of videos on the elections, so I think I’m gonna filter my content so I don’t expose my self to so much division. Thanks for this!!

[@charitystaton6016]

This was confirmation for me. I had been considering fast social media for a week or two,to take a step back,be in the moment,and grow my relationship with God....so thanks for sharing this🙏🏽

[@BrownDoll28]

Wow this hits home! I am currently taking a break from Instagram and set my timeframe for a week but honestly going without it for 4 days now made me realize that i don't really need it in my life as much as i thought i did. I didn't like the way that i felt after scrolling through my feed and now i don't even think about it. I would also like to get more spiritually connected.

[@godsgirl5722]

This is so timely. Between the elections posts and covid posts....I just had to unfollow so many accounts. I'm definitely taking a break as well❤ Thanks for your transparency.

[@nucolajoyner7449]

I think this is a great idea. Yess... I remember when you went on your last fast. I pray God renew you, give you clarity and greater vision. You are already missed!

[@FaithfullyRobyn]

Go get strong and filled up girl! We’ll be here when you get back (I will atleast lol). Can’t wait to see and hear all that God downloads in to your spirit!❤️

[@shamellesutherland2536]

oh no, I will definitely be missing your posts but I understand. All the best on your journey.

[@heiselijah4676]

Praise God

[@deemonroe]

Love your content

[@Pglambert]

So true. I have been feeling the same way. I am going to try it as well.

[@tafadzwamataruka7939]

Hey, please may you update us on your natural birth control experience so far if you don't mind

[@shortiboop7778]

9 hrs of my day while I'm at work I pretty much can not get on any social media except Facebook because the they have blocked everything how fb isn't blocked is beyond me but with covid and politics I closed my fb and took the app off my phone for a little while cause I just can't hear the noise anymore. So its understandable on why your doing it.

[@loveablej2]

It’s been almost a month from deactivating my Instagram.... I don’t miss it at all! I said I’ll go back in November, but I doubt it lol

[@moniqueh79]

This is a confirmation for me. I've been addicted to KZbin only but it takes up all my day. Which is the reason I let go of FB. I'm going to do something just not exactly sure. But I have been thinking of giving up YT for a period of time. Thanks for sharing.

[@Musicabycm]

I took a social media break since may 31. I never felt so well. Thank you god

[@Breonaleonard]

That’s soo good! How do you remain obedient in doing this? Especially at the beginning

[@Fashion_With_Tamyia]

I’m currently on a FB fast, it’s my first time for real for real! In the past I would randomly still go on there for like a minute, but this time I deactivated my account and deleted the app. I said it was only going to be for 2 weeks, but week 2 will be over Sunday night. I might extend it, idk yet! It’s been peaceful♥️

[@jasminemercedes1609]

Amen!! So True Leah! I have been fasting from social media for a month 1/2 and it has been so fulfilling! I feel so much more aware and closer to God!! It's so important to stop looking everywhere else and start looking within.

[@ashleyhisdaughter2679]

Everyone who is fasting from or plans to fast from social media be encourage it's all for you're good. I'm soo happy God led you to share this video Leah. ❤🙏

[@LexiShanta]

I have been thinking alot about doing this as well. I actually practiced lol not posting my last 2 trips or special moments and it felt so good and free. I did this last year for 21 days and it does open your eyes to other things! Great video and confirmation for me!

[@reneedjasper091503]

This definitely speaks to me. I have been off of FB for almost a year. I knew it was time to go when i started to get to frustrated and comparing myself with other Christians and people in general. It has been a relief because it truly felt like an addiction and now i see how others are with it looking from the outside. Thank you for sharing and wishing nothing but blessings during this time with God and your husband.

[@tafaranike780]

First ✨ 💃🏽

[@joyceng7075]

In the beginning of August I took 1 week break from social media. Ever since then I take a break every now and there for 1-3 days. I am planing to take a break again this month.

[@lemarcarlin1036]

I’m currently on a 10 day fast from social media, I don’t usually spend a lot of time on their but similar to you God was just telling me to take a break. Anyway I feel refreshed and God has been speaking to me🙏🏽

[@tiaraterry1344]

I loveeee taking social media breaks too! You realize how much time it consumes and realize how much time you ACTUALLY have in a day to focus on your goals, hobbies and things you like. It gives great focus and mental clarity.

[@Its-sarahj]

I’ve fasted from social media twice and absolutely loved it! Both times i did it, i actually didn’t want to come back. There’s just so much clarity that comes with it.

[@GoldenDivas]

I'm currently on a Social Media fast as well with the Blessed and Bossed Up Academy w/ Tatum Tamia. Its been good so far. I can definitely be more intentional but I don't miss social media. It is such a time waster for me.

[@neveahrogers]

You sound like me! I had a love hate relationship with social media for the same reasons. I finally decided to delete social media all together

[@GracefullyKaren]

I left social media for two years and it was a blessing ❤️. I don’t fancy being on social media but I do love how inspiring it is to a certain point. There’s so much to learn outside of social media. I love to hear the sound of the birds and connect with God on a deeper level. I spend my time reading, writing on my blog, spending time with the Lord, listening to podcast and etc. Leaving social media is a lot for so many people but a joy for me. Thank you for sharing Leah 😊

[@jasminewhite9426]

After my quiet time today, I felt this random urgency to delete my social media apps for these last two months of 2020 and It was honestly a relief deleting the apps. Instantly felt peace and even excited lol. Only maintaining my podcast instagram with two post per month!

[@crystalcliatt7471]

I did the same thing fasting and praying seeking GOD and staying off of FB it's been 8months.GOD has showed me so much and more to come

[@michellewoje5771]

It's just Thursday and there's a new video 💃💃💃

[@SoulStyleBeauty]

Love this Leah!

[@PrettyRoxful]

I do it! Start today ❤️ zero IG!

[@bhaskarc6100]

Excellent U r truly a real Christian U r following the Bible U will surely get into heaven And the lord God almighty will bless abundantly Wish u a happy prosperous life ahead God will protect u 😇

[@lisha458]

This was So inspiring, especially since I’m planning on fasting for this month!! 🙌🏾🙏🏾if all goes well, I just may push it to the end of July

[@LaLa-Luminous]

Another video that I really needed to see. Thank you.

[@tboykin13tb]

I need to Dew the same.... 😇

[@brya8641]

We r on the same page even with age.

[@livinglifewithms.j7279]

This is a wise decision. We must strive to pull away and DO NOT CONFORM TO THE WAYS OF THE WORLD. UTUBE if allowed will have one feeling like the need to compete or have what others are buying or showing. So.. Keep God your priority.

[@mo_uduh3961]

It does have though

[@CourageDearHeart316]

You are so right. So glad I am not the only one feeling this. I deactivated my fb and got off for almost a month. I got back to attend an online stream of my brother's wedding. But never felt the urge to use it again. As for Instagram I PERMANENTLY DELETED it. All in all I am disconnected from everything. And it was a one by one thing for me. I am enjoying my bible reading time..prayer time...the LORD answering back...As for now, I am off Facebook. Since I have big amount of friends on there that I had since 7 years ago I will keep it and use it for testimony When the time comes. As for now I am gonna log off and focus on my life. Much Love and blessings.

[@AscendedKin]

Just remember seeking God and what his word has to say is something we must do daily, not just when it is convenient

[@Motivatedstar]

I love this video. ❤️ I’ve been watching your videos since 2017 when I was 16!! Thank you for being such a positive and an intelligent black woman. Such an inspiration

[@slimalinga_]

This message came in right when I decided to do the same from yesterday. God speaks through us and thank you for sharing 🌸🙏🏽

[@ricca1927]

Beautiful..... I fast from social media all the time I’ve been doing it for year.

[@briam143_]

Yes, I am currently fasting from instagram and twitter...it was much needed.

[@jessicanavarrete6765]

Yes I have fasted from social media before! It has helped me so much! I felt more aligned with my life along with feeling incredibly peaceful. I went 2 years without any social media and it was by far the best decision I did. I really loved not knowing what was going on, or coming across toxic people. I will be doing that right now again. Many blessing to you! Thank you Leah! I’ve been watching many of your videos for quite some time now and I enjoy every single one! Can’t wait to see you back on in November! Many Blessings! ♥️

[@KyleighFran]

Ugh We're gonna miss you! But Ill be praying that God would give you wisdom, inspiration and his peace throughout this month so you can come back feeling well rested and revived!!

[@jaleesamarie9470]

This video is totally relatable. I tell people all the time how valuable my time is and how important it is to me to not waste it. There’s so much world, hobbies, exploration, and life to live outside of social media. Do yourself a favor and fast girl, FAST. 💕💕💕

[@hopefaithlove77]

Hi Leah! I love when you are transparent about your Christian journey. When we seek God he always reveals deeper meanings to our life. I am starting a 14 day fast soon and I am looking forward to that intimate time with God. ❤️✨

[@shaunibee6345]

I think I needed this video as well .I have been going through so much lately and I think I need to fast from social media. I only got on social media because coronavirus happened but now it's taking up to much of my time .I want to connect more with God and I think getting rid of social media at least for a week or so will help me to reboost .

[@boldvictory1]

This is so true!! You’ve made a good point that we’ve grown up with this. We all need to take a break from it time to time.

[@robinwarner794]

Wow I am fasting from ot now for a week. Today was suppose to be me last day but you have me thinking lol.

[@trenditv5081]

Yes I fast all the time from social media and it is a energy booster and helpful

[@shanellesealy3072]

Hello Leah, thanks for sharing see you soon.

[@blossomingbutterfly8955]

I’m with you on all of this sis !! I think you’re on to something. So long !! 💖

[@missfancy8365]

This is so relatable and timely !

[@faithtrinidad3754]

YES SO TIMELY!!! WANNA SOME HAVE BREAK 😩

[@bernitemondesir112]

I am going to miss you good luck

[@noordinarymonroes]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@Thinnsexy1]

I love this and yes God has been leading me to do this too. I have been so intentional with my time because you can't get it back. Praying for you 🙌🏾
