He knew the power of fasting. (Daniel 10:3)
Fasting is simply doing without something to heighten your spiritual awareness of God.
The purpose of fasting is to separate yourself unto the Lord, and focus on the spiritual instead of your physical needs.
When you fast you lose all fear of man, failure, and the things of this world cease to matter. Their importance plummets and you become very heightened and focused.
Daniel knew the secret of fasting and prayer. He knew that he would hear from God and his circumstances would change.
