My fasting experience was incredible. I was able to fast for the longest time I ever had before. Nearly 20 hours or something like that. Knowing my struggles with fasting in the previous years, I know I was not alone today. God and Jesus Christ helped me through this.
Reminds of Mosiah Chapter 24 in which The Lord promises,
"I will also ease the burdens which are put upon your shoulders, that even you cannot feel them upon your backs, that ye may know of a surety that I, the Lord God, do visit my people in their afflictions. the burdens which were laid upon Alma and his brethren were made light; yea, the Lord did strengthen them that they could bear up their burdens with ease."
This past conference Elder Holland boldly stated (something along the lines of) we have every reason to hope for great blessings. What a profound statement especially considering the circumstances that our world is in right now. I know of a surety that our Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ truly do visit us in our afflictions and I saw that firsthand today during my fast. I have faith and hope for better things to come for the devastating pandemic we are now experiencing worldwide.
A missionary in Oregon created a Facebook page for the Worldwide Fast that quickly gained over a half million followers all over the world; people from every country, all different religions (and some altheists and agnostics, too) as well as from all walks of life. Here were some of the posts and a map of where people lived who would be fasting:
